I always think there's someone in a worse position than you.“So I'm just grateful to - and I think I'm privileged to - be in such a wonderful sport and to have all of these experiences. Whatever time I need to take, because I still have a long career in front of me and I'm still young.“So there's no rush, let's do everything correctly and just trust the process.” Jota used his love of the game to drive him towards being back on the pitch.
