Real Madrid striker Luka Jovic is isolating at home after having direct contact with a friend that later tested positive for coronavirus, according to La Sexta. 

Once Jovic found out his friend had contracted the virus, he immediately went into quarantine to avoid any chance, however small, of passing it on to his Madrid teammates. 

Jovic has since tested negative for coronavirus but must now wait for a second negative result before being able to return to training at Valdebebas. 

The Serbian has not trained for two days now but could be available for selection when Madrid return to action on Friday, at home to Alaves.
