He said that situation can only make him stronger both as a player and a person. He is now back training with the first team and could make his debut sometime this season.
“It has been good. I feel like this is where I belong now. I am more involved with the team every day. I am happy to be back and training with the team.
“Fitness wise I am still working on it but it is going to take a while. It was very frustrating but it will make me strong. I came here knowing I would not play for the entire season and I had to work hard on rehabilitation,” he said.
