Celta Vigo forward Fedor Smolov ignored a lockdown order and left Spain to return to Russia for his fiancee Maria Yumasheva's 18th birthday party, according to The Guardian. 

He was the second Celta Vigo player to defy the quarantine order after forward Pione Sisto drove home to Denmark last week. 

"The player repeatedly requested permission to travel to Russia for a personal matter," a club source told AS regarding the 30-year-old Smolov (via The Guardian). "The club could not give it to him because La Liga did not authorize it, but he promptly reported his movements and left with the commitment to return once he solved his personal affairs."

Smolov said last week he understood he wouldn't be able to visit his fiancee, Yumasheva—who is the granddaughter of former Russian President Boris Yeltsin—due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The pair were engaged in January.

"I get along well, nothing new can happen," he said. "I don't think about anything and I accept the situation."

Apparently not. Smolov is now reportedly facing a fine upon his return, per The Guardian.

The forward has made five starts for Celta Vigo this season, with one goal. He joined the club on loan in late January.
