The PSG Marquinhos defender returned to France on Wednesday. He is, as expected, the first of the capital club's Brazilians to make the return trip with three weeks to go before training resumes, according to images posted by his girlfriend on social networks. "Home sweet home," wrote Carol Cabrino, the player's wife, on Instagram.

The process

Paris Saint-Germain have scheduled their return to training - under COVID-19-savvy restrictions - for June 22 and Marquinhos has plenty of time for a two-week quarantine before undergoing tests for fitness but also to ensure he is not an asymptomatic carrier of the disease that has swept the world in 2020.  

The international, one of the Parisian squad's key figures, flew to Brazil with his family on 19 May after spending the lockdown period in France. He is the first of the capital club's galaxy of Brazilian stars to return to Paris - superstar Neymar and captain Thiago Silva are still in Brazil, where the coronavirus remains very active, and they will of course be subject to the same stringent protocols as Marqui.
