Real Madrid announced that the 21-year-old striker tested positive in a PCR test carried out following his return from international duty with Serbia.
On Wednesday the Serbian Federation announced that four members of the Serbian camp -- three players, Milinkovic-Savic, Nikolic and Lazovic, and one of the team’s physios -- tested positive in PCR tests carried out at the time.
At that time, Jovic tested negative, but the test carried out upon his return to Madrid has revealed that he has in fact contracted Covid-19 and must remain in quarantine until he returns a negative test.
Jovic becomes the fourth Madrid player to recently be confirmed coronavirus positive after Eder Militao, Casemiro and Eden Hazard. All three of those players have returned to training this week and could be available to Zidane for the meeting with Villarreal on Saturday.
In total five Madrid players have contracted Covid-19, with Mariano being the first back in June.
