Xavi Hernandez took to his Instagram to announce that he has tested positive for Coronavirus.
The current manager of Al Sadd in the Qatar Stars League was expected to join his team in competition as they face Al Khor but the coach of the Al Sadd reserves, David Prats will lead the team on his behalf.
The 40 year old Spanish legend said he was not experiencing any symptoms at all but will self-isolate until he has fully recovered.
"A few days ago, following the QSL (Qatar Stars League) protocol, I tested positive in the last COVID19 test. Fortunately, I’m feeling ok, but I will be isolated until I am given the all clear. When the health services allow it, I will be very eager to return to my daily routine and to work. I’d like to thank all the authorities, especially those working in [the] QSL, [the] QFA (Qatar Football Association) and [at] Al-Sadd for supplying the means of early detection, reducing the spread of infection and that guarantees the normal development of the competition. Take care and see you soon on the football pitch! ⚽”, Xavi said on his Instagram page.
Last month he told Sport, "I've said it a lot of times but I want to take footballing decisions at Barcelona....The biggest hope I have now is to be Barca coach and get Barca back to winning ways."
