China's naturalized striker A Lan completed a mandatory quarantine on Tuesday in time to attend his first Chinese national team training camp.

The Beijing Guoan striker, also known as Alan Carvalho, posted a video on social media showing him and Guangzhou Evergrande striker Luo Guofu in a taxi in Shanghai after completing their obligatory 14-day quarantine.

Having never played for Brazil, the country of his birth, A Lan was granted Chinese nationality in 2019 after five years' residence in the country.

A Lan will join up with the training camp on Friday in China's southern city of Haikou.

Guangzhou Evergrande striker Ai Kesen, also born in Brazil, was the only other naturalized player to be called up this time by China.
