 Dani Alves remains behind bars in Brians 2 Prison, located in Sant Esteve Sesrovires, near the Catalan capital of Barcelona.

He was taken to jail more than a week ago after being accused of an alleged a sexual assault in a nightclub.

His lawyer, Cristabal Martell, is expected to file an appeal to request the provisional release of the Brazilian right-back.

Meanwhile, La Vanguardia has published an article this Sunday in which they reveal how Alves' life in prison is, according to multiple sources, a mix of people who are official, unofficial, inside and outside the penitentiary center.

The Catalan newspaper has indicated that Alves' "adaptation is being exemplary".

They even reveal that Alves, who was arrested on January 20, accused of a sexual assault allegedly committed in the Sutton nightclub in Barcelona on December 30, has already played his first football match with the other inmates.

It happened last Thursday and the presence of the Brazilian star raised a huge expectation in the prison yard among his fellow inmates, who wanted to see him play.

According to La Vanguardia, Alves, who is held in custody without bail, shares a cell with someone he already knows. He is a Brazilian man known as Coutinho, who wasRonaldinho's bodyguard and bouncer in some of Barcelona nightclubs.

Meanwhile, 'Ya es mediodía' have reported that Alves has bought basic necessities with his 100 euro prison card.

His purchases include items such as four cans of tuna, four yoghurts, a bottle of shampoo, a deodorant and some energy drinks.

After being taken to jail, Alves was released by his last team, Pumas, who announced that they terminated his contract.

"We cannot allow the conduct of any person to harm this work philosophy," said president Leopoldo Silva.
