Malcom breaks his silence after 55 days without playing Barcelona Has only managed 64 minutes with Zenit

Malcom became one of the most expensive transfers in Zenit Saint Petersburg's history during the summer, but he has only played 64 minutes since his move from Barcelona.

The Russian club spent 40 million euros on the Brazilian forward, but he hasn't featured in any game since August 8 due to an injury.

"I have a very delicate and sensitive injury," Malcom told to the club's official website.

"It seems that it hurts one day or two and then I don't feel pain, but when I shoot with a little more strength it hurts me again.

"The fans of the club shouldn't worry, [as] my recovery will be very fast and I will play again as soon as possible to give them joy.

"When I return, I will do my best as always.

"I want to play in the Champions League with Zenit."

The 22-year-old forward has only played two games for Zenit so far, against Krasnodar and Dynamo Moscow a couple of months ago.
