Back to Paris

It's time to go back to the Parc des Princes. The idea is that football clubs, like the rest of French society, will gradually return to normal.

According to this Monday's Le Parisien newspaper, PSG called on all players who decided to return to their respective countries. 

In addition to Neymar, Thiago Silva, Cavani and Navas, the German players Thilo Kehrer and Maxim Choupo-Moting have also received the call.

None of them will have any problems returning to the country, because the club has already assured that it will allow entry to players who have a home in the country and a residence permit, conditions that all of them meet.

Like the other French clubs, PSG is awaiting the appearance of Prime Minister Édouard Philippe to give details on how the population will be deconfined from 11 May.

French football is now coutning on being able to resume training activities like other sectors of the economy, a position also defended by the Minister of Sport, Roxana Maracineanu.

The Association of Sports Doctors is finalising a protocol to ensure the safety of footballers returning to training, which includes regular testing.

At PSG, the medical services are said to have already explained to the players what the return to the pitch will look like. The Professional Football League (LFP), for its part, is awaiting the minister's announcements to begin the collective purchase of these tests.
