Paris Saint-Ger­main forward Neymar on Fri­day declared that he was "super happy" to return to training which implied that he has recovered from coronavirus and moved out of isolation, report agencies.

 The 28-year-old striker was one of seven players in the PSG squad who had tested positive recently. The other infected players include Kylian Mbappe, Mauro Icardi, Angel Di Maria, Leandro Paredes, Keylor Navas and Marquinhos.

 "I went back to training, supper happy #CORONAOUT," the Brazilian posted on his Twitter account. 

The absence of these key players had weakened Thomas Tuchel's side significantly as the Ligue 1 defending champions launched their title defence with a shocking 1-0 defeat at newly-promoted Lens on Thursday.

 The shorthanded German coach had to field several youngsters like 18-year-old league debutants Kays Ruiz-Atil and Arnaud Kalimuendo and 20-year-old goalkeeper Marcin Bulka in the starting line-up in Wednesday's match.
