Ruud Van Nistelrooy returned to official action for the first time in about ten months and did what he knows best: score. But it wasn't all good news after seeing the Dutchman grip his left quad after the shot. The club's medical staff will assess the injury on Monday and determine just how severe it is.
“I am okay, but I got hurt while scoring. I dreamed of this return; to score and provide an assist. I am overwhelmed by the fans' support. I will have an MRI tomorrow and hope it isn't anything serious. I worked very hard to return and everything has gone well. Let's see how my quad is holding up. We aren't happy with the way we played, but it was a good match. We can improve a lot.”
