Jese Rodriguez expressed his gratitude towards all involved with Real Madrid after making his long-awaited return on Tuesday.
After
missing almost nine months due to a right cruciate ligament injury
suffered against Schalke in the UEFA Champions League in March, Jese
made a goal-scoring return to the pitch as Real routed Cornella 5-0 in
the Copa del Rey round of 32.
The 21-year-old came off the bench in the second half and completed
the scoring with 13 minutes remaining to give Real a 9-1 aggregate win
at The Santiago Bernabeu.
And Jese was quick to thank the club, team-mates and fans for their support during his rehabilitation.
"It has been many months of suffering," the Spaniard said afterwards.
"Everyone has helped me a lot, the fans, the president, my team-mates. The fans love me a lot and I love them too.
"You go through a difficult time when you're out, because it's many
months away from the pitch. I have to keep on working to improve
physically.
"I missed being with the team and scoring goals. I dedicate this to
the fans, because they have supported me a lot, and to the doctors and
physios."
