While the coronavirus continues to spread throughout Europe and isolation has been established in most of the countries of the Old Continent, in France there was great doubt about what was happening with Neymar. The Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) footballer had not published new content on his networks and since the club had not reported anything about his situation, the local media began to suspect.

The former Barcelona player has already taken advantage of injuries, stops and even suspensions to fly to Brazil to spend at least a few days with family and friends, so it did not sound crazy to suppose that the quarantine had been a new excuse to return home. . And indeed it was.

As published on Wednesday by the Sport site in Spain, Neymar is in Brazil, although he did not want to reveal exactly where. "His intention is to continue to maintain his training plan as normal, carrying out all the procedures and guidelines that have been indicated to him by his club," the article states.

It is worth remembering that the suspension of soccer does not mean vacations for the players, who must continue to perform a daily exercise routine, dictated by the team's physical trainer. "Ney is going to strictly follow all the medical recommendations to protect himself from the coronavirus pandemic, which is already beginning to wreak havoc in Brazil," he adds.

For its part, the French newspaper L’Equipe reported that his compatriot and PSG partner, Thiago Silva, made the same decision and is also isolated in Brazil. His wife, Isabelle, had hinted at his intention to travel on Instagram: “We are going to decide whether to stay or not because the virus is everywhere. At the moment we are here, really sad about all this, but we are very confident that everything happens as soon as possible. " There is still no scheduled date for the return of both players to Paris.

The entry into force on Tuesday of fifteen days of confinement in France removed the prospect of a quick return from the competition and forces players to maintain physical fitness at home. PSG have not trained since their 2-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund on March 11, on the second leg of the Champions League round of 16, when they got their ticket to the quarterfinals.

The option to travel sounds too risky because airports seem to be a place of frequent spread of the coronavirus that has already spread to more than 217,000 people around the planet. France, where Ligue 1 was postponed until further notice, is one of the countries that has been most infected, with a total of 9,134 and 264 deaths, although less than Germany, Spain and Italy, more complicated nations on the Old Continent.

Meanwhile, in Brazil there have been 399 cases and three deaths, the first one announced on Tuesday. In the city of Sao Paulo and the state of Rio de Janeiro they declared a state of emergency, with a series of measures aimed at slowing down the spread of the virus.
