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.
