Nottingham Forest loan defender Renan Lodi is training with another club during the World Cup break - and it's not parent club Atletico Madrid.
The 24-year-old Brazilian left-back has returned to his native country where he has been pictured training with former club Athletico Paranaense.
Lodi came through the academy at Athletico Paranaense and graduated to the first team before leaving to join Atletico Madrid in 2019. The Brazilian side have now posted about Lodi being with them on their Instagram account.

They say the defender is there "keeping his shape" after failing to earn a place in Brazil's World Cup squad for Qatar. It remains to be seen if he will play for Forest in their forthcoming friendlies in Greece and Spain.
The Reds face Atromitos on December 6 and Olympiacos on December 10, before travelling to play Valencia six days later. Forest's next competitive game is not until December 20, when they travel to Blackburn Rovers in the League Cup.
Lodi has made just eight appearances in all competitions for Forest since arriving from Atletico Madrid over the summer. He was a regular for the Spanish side in each of the last three seasons, but his performance level dropped last term.
