The La Liga champions are due to travel to Manchester to play Manchester City on August 7 in the second-leg of their Champions League last 16 tie.

It was recently announced by the UK government that Zidane's squad and staff would be exempt from the re-imposed 14-day quarantine rule on travellers from Spain.

Pep Guardiola's men hold a 2-1 lead in the tie thanks to goals from Gabriel Jesus and Kevin De Bruyne in the first leg in Madrid.

Diaz made just five appearances in La Liga for Real Madrid this season, scoring once in the Classico against Barcelona at the Bernabeu.
