Wolves striker Sasha Karadzic has returned to action after a lengthy spell out with a knee injury and made his comeback in pre-season training in Portugal.

Not only did Karadzic score a goal in the game, he also said that he was in good shape and had a positive attitude, and was ready to welcome the upcoming new season.

The 28-year-old Austrian striker has been plagued by injuries since joining Wolves, and this comeback is of great significance to him. Karadzic admitted that being able to step onto the court again means a lot to him: "After such a long time, it feels great to play with my teammates again and touch the ball again."

“Although it was just an informal pre-season match, it was a very important milestone for me. I am happy that everything went well and I feel good physically.”

Karadzic has always maintained a rational attitude towards his comeback. He said: "There is no hard and fast goal. The most important thing now is to regain the feeling of the game and get familiar with the rhythm on the court and the feedback of the body. It is good news that I can complete the first game without any physical problems."

Talking about the intensity of the pre-season training camp, Karadzic admitted that it was not easy: "To be honest, few people look forward to the pre-season. But for me, I am really looking forward to it this time. Because I haven't experienced a complete pre-season preparation period for a long time."

"Every training session, every round, every breath, is part of my recovery. Although the weather is hot and the training pace is tight, I feel that my body is getting more and more stable. This makes me more confident in the days ahead."

Karadzic maintains a calm and firm attitude towards the new season: "I will not be anxious or worried. I have a good support team around me. I will take it step by step and seize every opportunity to step onto the court."
