Real Madrid announce that head coach Carlo Ancelotti has tested positive for COVID-19.

Real Madrid have announced that head coach Carlo Ancelotti has tested positive for COVID-19.

Los Blancos are currently preparing to return to La Liga action following the international break, with the division leaders due to take on Celta Vigo on Saturday night.

However, Ancelotti is unlikely to be in the dugout for the league encounter, with Real Madrid confirming on Wednesday that the Italian has returned a positive COVID-19 test.

As a result, the manager's son Davide Ancelotti, who is assistant head coach at Bernabeu, could be in charge of the league leaders against Celta.

Real Madrid, who suffered a 4-0 defeat to Barcelona in El Clasico before the international break, are currently nine points clear of second-placed Sevilla at the top of the table.

Ancelotti could return to the dugout for the first leg of the team's Champions League quarter-final away to Chelsea on April 6.
