Carlo Ancelotti tests positive for Covid

It is likely that he will miss Real Madrid’s La Liga match away to Celta Vigo on Saturday and could also miss their Champions League quarter-final first leg.

Madrid:

Real Madrid confirmed on Wednesday that coach Carlo Ancelotti has tested positive for Covid-19. The club gave the news in a one-line communique on their official website, without saying the condition of the 62-year-old coach, who apparently took a test after suffering symptoms compatible with the virus.

Given the nature of his job, however, it is uncertain whether this will happen, and it is likely that he will miss Real Madrid's La Liga match away to Celta Vigo on Saturday and could also miss their Champions League quarter-final first leg away to Chelsea next week.
