The footballer was visited by a friend who tested positive for the disease, which kicked off the alarms at the Bernabeu.

Real Madrid seemed to be on a roll since they returned from the coronavirus pause in La Liga, but a major speed bump could be in the team's path towards the championship.

According to a report by Marca, one of the first team players is currently in quarantine after hosting a friend that tested positive for coronavirus, and while the footballer's first test for the disease came back negative, Los Blancos don't want to take second chances on this matter.

The player in question is Luka Jovic, who has not been able to prove his worth during his maiden season with the Spanish giants. In fact, Jovic came close to being left out of the team due to his decision to breach quarantine rules in Serbia, where he even got in trouble with local authorities.

La Liga's health protocol demands all players to undergo two tests before being allowed back to the team's training sessions. Even so, the report by the Spanish newspaper suggests that Los Blancos will test Jovic as many times as necessary before he returns to the team's workout sessions, especially with La Liga so close to its end and with the team on such an impressive winning streak.
