DOHA (Qatar): Former Barcelona great and current Al Sadd head coach Xavi Hernandez said on Wednesday that he had recovered from the coronavirus, returned home and resumed his duties.
“Thank you so much for all the caring messages that I’ve received during these days,” he wrote on his verified Instagram page alongside an image of him holding his daughter.
“I want to share with you that I’m recovered and back home with my family and the Al Sadd team,” said the Spain legend, who was at the team training session on Wednesday.
The 40-year-old announced on Saturday that he had tested positive for COVID-19 following routine screening of players and staff in Qatar’s top-flight.
Xavi missed defending champions 2-1 victory over Al-Khor, their first fixture since the resumption of the league which was suspended in March to contain the spread of COVID-19.
