Real Madrid manager, Zinedine Zidane, has tested positive for coronavirus.
The club confirmed the news on their official website, with the Frenchman set to go into a spell of isolation.
In line with protocols, the club will keep their manager closely monitored during his period in isolation.
The development comes at a time when Real are struggling for form on the pitch.
They suffered the embarrassment of being dumped out of the Copa Del Rey by Segunda B side Alcoyano on Wednesday.
