The Brazilian player still has to return to France to finish the Champions League. Unless there is an exception for foreign players in France, they will have to be quarantined on their return.

Ligue 1 was cancelled and PSG' short term plans were shattered. The foreigners flew to their country during the coronavirus lockdown and it's been several weeks since Neymar and co. were seen in Paris.

On Monday, amidst the lack of immediate targets, the Parisian side gave the team holidays. The idea is that they return on 22nd June to have just over a month to prepare for the Champions League.

'RMC Sport' confirmed that Cavani will return on 16th and that Marquinhos already returned, but nothing is known about Keylor Navas, Neymar or Thiago Silva

If France doesn't give special permission to athletes, something that will happen in some European countries, Neymar and co. will have to be quarantined when returning the country, if they don't do so before the 15th, the day which the borders open again.

In that case, they will have to cut some of their 2020 holidays short which will be strange. It is true that, although they haven't been able to leave the house, they have been with their family for various months and without working normally, so this early return will even be appreciated by some.
