Wuhan Zall, the Chinese Super League (CSL) team from the epicentre of the coronavirus pandemic, made an emotional return to the city after more than three months torn from their families.
Zall endured a turbulent 104 days on the road, including being stranded in Spain, because Wuhan was sealed off in January when the virus killed and infected thousands there.
"After more than three months of wandering, the homesick Wuhan Zall team members finally set foot in their hometown," the team said on the Twitter-like Weibo. They began training for the new Chinese Super League season, since postponed indefinitely, in early January in the southern city of Guangzhou. But when the virus began taking hold in Spain in March, Zall made arrangements to fly back to China, where the number of infections was slowing markedly.
