David Luiz lands back in Paris

PSG star David Luiz has returned to Paris, leaving Brazil's national squad ahead of its game against Peru after being sent off last week.

Paris Saint-Germain defender David Luiz has returned to the French capital after being released from international duty by Brazil.

David Luiz was sent off during his country's 1-1 World Cup qualifying draw against Argentina on Friday, making him unavailable for the clash with Peru on Tuesday at the Arena Fonte Nova in Salvador.

The 28-year-old initially indicated he was unsure if he would make an early return to Paris, expressing sadness and concern over safety in the city in the wake of Friday's terror attacks.
