‘I’m just happy to be back out there and moving about the way I can. I’m getting stronger by the day and I’m looking forward to coming back,’ the 28-year-old told evertontv.
‘There’s still a while to go but I’m happy with where I’m at. At this stage, I couldn’t ask to be in a better place and everything just seems like it’s clicking into place.
‘I’ve got time to practice some things that I need to, so I’m happy.
‘The fans…have always been on my side since I’ve been injured. Now I’m looking forward to coming back and showing them what I really can do.
‘I believe they’ve seen a side of me at Crystal Palace and I’m sure I can provide that side but even better.’
