Alex gets Brazilian doctor's help
PSV Eindhoven defender Alex will return to Brazil to try and speed up his recovery from a hamstring injury which threatens to wreck his season.
Alex will return to PSV 24 hours before they host Liverpool in the Champions League quarter-final, first-leg.
The defender will see a doctor from Brazil's football federation who claims he can cut his recovery to five weeks from an initial diagnosis of eight.
Alex told PSV's website: "I won't give up hope I can play again this season."
PSV initially feard that Alex, who is on loan with PSV from Chelsea, would be out for the rest of the season.
The Brazilian, who scored the goal that knocked out Arsenal in the previous round, was injured in the draw at Excelsior.
Alex will also miss Brazil's friendly matches against Chile and Ghana, scheduled to take place in Sweden on 24 and 27 March.
He said: "I will work my butt off. I can start my recovery now in Brazil. I will work like crazy to recover as soon as possible.
"When I return to Holland, a new MRI scan will be done and then I hope that I am allowed to train again."
