'We're all scared' - PSG star Thiago Silva calls on Brazil to tighten up coronavirus measures

The veteran centre-back believes more needs to be done in his homeland to stop the spread of Covid-19 after he returned there from France

Paris Saint-Germain defender Thiago Silva has admitted that he is "scared" of the impact that the coronavirus outbreak will have after returning to his native Brazil.

The Selecao centre-back flew back to his homeland earlier this week and is currently in quarantine as the worldwide pandemic continues to cause disruption to lives across the globe.

And while praising the swift actions of French president Emmanuel Macron in dealing with the many issues arising from the Covid-19 outbreak, the 35-year-old called on his compatriots in Brazil to take responsibility and try and stop the spread of the disease.
