Champions League winner Rafael Benitez and former Barcelona star Paulinho have arrived back in China after being locked out by coronavirus, but now face 14 daysโ€™ quarantine and an indefinite wait for the season to begin.

About a third of the foreign players and coaches in the Chinese Super League have been unable to come back since late March after the country barred entry to most foreigners.

Dalian Pro coach Benitez and Paulinho, Guangzhou Evergrandeโ€™s Brazilian international midfielder, were two of the highest profile figures stranded abroad.

However, former Real Madrid and Liverpool manager Benitez, 60, wrote on the Twitter-like Weibo late Monday that he was โ€œback in Chinaโ€ via Stockholm. (Guardian)
