Luka Milivojevic: Crystal Palace captain apologises for breaching coronavirus rules

Crystal Palace captain Luka Milivojevic has apologised for breaching coronavirus rules after attending a New Year's Eve party.

The 29-year-old Serbia midfielder was pictured at a gathering with at least seven other people.

At the time, London was under tier four Covid-19 restrictions, in which households could not mix.

"As captain of Crystal Palace Football Club, I am fully aware that my responsibilities go beyond football, and that in this instance I have let the fans, the club, my manager and team-mates down.
