Paris Saint-Germain captain Thiago Silva has opened up on the situation in Brazil after he returned to his home country amid the COVID-19 outbreak on Wednesday.

Silva is in Rio de Janeiro after he, like compatriot and team-mate Neymar, returned to Brazil before France and its capital went into lockdown.

He told Brazilian outlet SporTV (h/t Goal's Tom Maston): "I am in quarantine. It is a situation which is not easy but the human being has a remarkable capacity for adaptation."

The defender said he'll try to do some running to maintain his fitness while he's forced to train at home.
