No player from Madrid was at risk of catching the Covid-19 because of the positive detected in Luka Jovic's friend. The Serbian striker was isolated before he had to step on Valdebebas this week. The last time he was in contact with his teammates was on Sunday, after landing in Barajas after playing in San Mamés and Jovic received his friend on Monday. That day Madrid had him free and on Tuesday the striker did not return to training.
The club is calm because it has strictly applied the protocol, which stipulates that the footballer's visitors must pass the test. When the positive was detected and Jovic had not been in contact with any other member of the team last Monday, the case is limited only to Serbian. In fact The club, which has been in constant contact with LaLiga given the imminent match against Alavés this Friday, has not even advanced the tests that it routinely does to the entire squad and coaching staff the day before each game.. The team will spend it tomorrow Thursday, as it was initially scheduled.
The case is that the bad news for Real Madrid accumulated related to Luka Jovic and the Covid-19. If the Serb was about to suffer serious legal problems by skipping the quarantine to go to his country, now he will have to remain in isolation at home. while confirming in successive tests that it remains negative.
Jovic falls out of Zidane's immediate plans just three days after having reappeared in San Mamés after overcoming another of his controversies, the strange injury with which he appeared in Valdebebas on May 12 once Madrid was able to reactivate training. A strange fracture in the foot, which the Serbian media came to attribute to the fact of having jumped a wall in his house. At the moment, there is no stipulated date for him to be able to be in contact in Valdebebas with his colleagues again.
