Costa Rica national team captain Bryan Ruiz has returned to training with Brazilian club Santos as he bids to prove his fitness ahead of this summer’s CONCACAF Gold Cup.

"The pilots are well, they managed to get out of the plane on their own," said the head of Costa Rica's civil aviation authority, Guillermo Hoppe, speaking at the scene.
