The French defender picked up an injury in a league match against Manchester United back in February and has resumed light training with the squad after successful recovery after surgery.He discusses the importance of a positive attitude during his time out of action.
"It's been really hard but if you are strong mentally you can do any thing.It's football,lots of players have had big injuries and been out for a while".
"Its important to stay positive in your mind and say to yourself : 'Okay ,I've been unlucky to get a bad injury but I will come back stronger'.I'm the type of person who doesn't like to be negative.The time has gone quite quickly,it's been five months but it only feels like about two".
Zouma was full of praise for our new manager who he said has made him feel like a part of the group.

'I'm really pleased about that.He's brought me on tour so I'm really happy.He's a good guy and a very good manager.We are working hard with him and he wants to create a strong team spirit in the group.He has a lot of qualities.He has been ideas so we all need to watch him and be aware of what he wants from us'
On when he will be back in match action Zouma said,
'I don't know.I will discuss with the manager and the medical team.I am not fit enough but hopefully in six weeks or in a couple of months I will be.We have to wait and see'.
