Real Madrid forward Jovic tests positive for Covid-19

Real Madrid forward Luka Jovic has tested positive for the coronavirus, the club confirmed on Friday.

The Serbian returned to the Spanish capital this week following a spell away with his national side.

It was a good international break on the field for Jovic, as he netted twice during Serbia’s 5-0 win over Russia in the Nations League on Wednesday, but he returned to Spain and Real confirmed he had tested positive for Covid-19.
