Lassina Traore: I am sincerely glad to be back in Shakhtar

Lassina Traore is finally back to to Shakhtar after the injury he sustained last year. Speaking to club site, Shakhtar's only foreign player commented on his long awaited return.

- I am sincerely glad that I returned to Shakhtar. It was very nice to see everyone again. First of all, I want to say that what is happening in Ukraine really hurts me. I am very worried about all Ukrainians. I'm with all of you! I hope everything will get better soon.

I am happy to see the players, the club's workers, and the club's management. I have only positive emotions.

I am very glad that I have already returned to training. Today I had an easy session, so far without the ball - nothing special. The fact that I'm back with the team gives me strength and inspiration. I'm sure I'll get in good shape soon.

I have fully recovered - I can run and hit the ball. I don't have any health problems. As for the difficult moments, I will say that it was hard to be away from the team.
