And the experienced striker is looking forward to getting back into the action after his lengthy spell on the sidelines.
Optimistic"I think I will be able to return to training in a month. It feels good and I am optimistic," he told Marca .
"I'm looking forward to kicking a ball again and playing a match.
"I will have to wait until next season, but I am very enthusiastic and very motivated."
