GOAL – The Iranian star tore
his cruciate ligament in a pre-season friendly last August but has finally
returned to full fitness with six games of the season remaining.
“Thanks everyone for your support,” the midfielder told reporters in Spain.
“I am delighted to be back and if the coach wants me to play again I am
ready. I couldn’t sleep last night thinking about this moment. It has been
quite a tough period, but thanks to everybody’s support now I’m smiling
again.
"I get goose bumps thinking about this day, and I want to play well again to
pay back everyone who helped me: supporters, the media, the club and also my
family.”
