Al Sadd coach Xavi insists he’s fine after testing positive for coronavirus.
The 40-year-old Barcelona and Spain legend, now the manager of Al Sadd in Qatar, is asymptomatic.
Xavi will be absent from the club’s Qatar Stars League game against Al Khor on Saturday as a result of contracting the disease.
He wrote on Instagram: “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.”
