"My goal is to be back with the team this year before the season ends," he said.
"I feel really good. The recovery process is going quite well. Although I am not yet discharged from the doctor, they decided to send us home and do the first part of the recovery there.

"The first thought I had was football. I had no memory problems, I remembered all the family members, Alba, my friends... so the first thought was if I could play football again. Being in a room of hospital, monitored, with all the screens and the line in the arm... is the first thing I asked the doctor. My whole life has revolved around football and it is impossible for me to think about anything other than football since I have not done something else," he said.
