“You never know how you feel until you’re back in really competitive games, and game by game I’ve been gaining my best form. I’ve been playing more and more minutes until I forgot about my injury and my performances on the pitch improved.

“Nowadays I’m really close to my very best. I still have margin for improvement, but I never thought I would have got back to this level one year ago.
