Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane is sure a very sad man right now as he could be without a star player for around three months after Luka Jovic sustained a broken foot during the coronavirus lockdown.
With Los Blancos still in contention for the La Liga title and hoping to overturn their deficit against Manchester City in their round-of-16 Champions League tie, Zidane would have been eager to have a fully-fit squad at his disposal if the season does get the green light to be completed.
However, he’ll have to make do without Jovic as Mundo Deportivo have claimed that after the club officially announced his injury blow, they didn’t put a timeline on his recovery, they believe that the 22-year-old could now be ruled out of action for three months.
If that is an accurate recovery timeframe, that in turn would mean he would miss the rest of this season if it resumes in June as being touted currently.
