Midfielder Fabio Santos has quit French first division leaders Lyon to be by the side of his pregnant wife in Brazil, the six-times champions said on Tuesday.
The 27-year-old is hoping for a six-month loan deal with Brazilian champions Sao Paulo after his wife decided to return to her native Brazil to give birth. "She is experiencing a few problems with her pregnancy and I have to be by her side to welcome our son. It's that simple," said Santos.
He promised "to be back at Lyon in six months for next season". Santos, whose full name is Fabio Dos Santos Barbosa, joined Lyon from Brazilian side Cruzeiro in January 2007 but was sparingly used by former boss Gerard Houllier.
The Brazilian, who also had a brief spell with Portuguese outfit Nacional Madeira, has seen more action under current coach Alain Perrin, but suffered a setback towards the end of last year after picking up a heel injury.
