Zeca: Amazing to play again

F.C. Copenhagen's Carlos Zeca made his return to action on Monday after a nine-month injury lay-off, playing 45 minutes in a reserve match against Fremad Amager.

"It was great to come back and play football again!" said Zeca, who has been recovering from an injury sustained last autumn.

"Thank God everything went well and I'm very happy with these first 45 minutes. I'm looking forward to more coming.

"I felt that it went really well and my movements and everything felt excellent. Now I just have to get more minutes and games under me, then my level will rise, and that's what we need to work on now.

Below are images from the past nine months as Zeca has worked on his rehab since suffering his injury against Viborg on 3 October 2021.
