🎙️| Ruud van Nistelrooij: "It's great to see him on the grass. Because it's been a long wait with his surgery… But it's a big moment to put on your boots and kick a ball and enjoy that moment with your team-mates. He's making the right steps and it's a big thing for him in his recovery." (Source: Leicester City)
