Real Madrid striker Luka Jovic has apologised for breaking self-isolation rules after returning to his native Serbia from Spain.

With the La Liga season suspended because of the coronavirus pandemic, Jovic returned home last week.

He was expected to observe 28 days of self-isolation in Serbia after returning from Spain, the second-most-affected country in Europe (11,178 cases and 491 deaths as of Wednesday, per CNN).

Per Ben Spratt of Goal, Jovic was reportedly spotted outside his apartment in Belgrade, and he has now taken to Instagram to explain the situation via the stories feature:

"Since the situation in the world and in our country is very difficult, I have to come forward and give support to my people.
