Chinese Super League (CSL) side Wuhan Zall ended a turbulent and prolonged overseas journey when they arrived back in China this week.
The CSL outfit, based in the city where Covid-19 originated, flew via Beijing to the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen, where they were immediately put under a 14-day quarantine as the country looks to recover.
The team, originally scheduled to return to China on February 14, has been stuck in Spain since January 29, unable to return to their hometown which has been locked down to curb the spread of the outbreak.
Given the fact that the coronavirus is now largely under control in China, and with the number of cases in Spain skyrocketing, the Wuhan club considered it a safer choice to return home.
Before departure for China, the CSL side had stayed in Spain’s southern region of Andalusia for the past month and a half.
