Real Madrid, who are currently battling for a place in the Champions League semi-finals and of course the Spanish championship, suffered a blow, after it became clear that captain Sergio Ramos has fallen ill in Corona - an official announcement by the team was published recently.
Ramos, who has been sidelined since the last team break due to injury, was expected to return to the pitches in a few days - the Blancos had hoped, but now he is sitting for a longer period and his return to the pitches has been postponed for at least another two weeks.
He joins the team's second senior stopper, Rafael Varane, who a week ago was found to be infected with the virus, and there is no doubt that this is a big headache for coach Zinedine Zidane.
