MADRID (AP) — The soccer team based in the epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic in China has returned home. Wuhan Zall is back nearly four months after it left for a preseason tour and got stuck abroad. It has returned home this weekend after the government lifted the last restrictions on movement in the city where the COVID-19 outbreak emerged late last year. The nearly 50 members of the squad had been away since Jan. 2. They spent time in other Chinese cities and in Spain. None of the squad members tested positive in Spain but Spanish coach José González said at the time that one of them lost a family member back home because of the virus.
