Dimitri Payet has thanked West Ham United's medical team for their assistance in enabling him to return to action sooner than expected.
The French international was sidelined by an appalling challenge from Everton's James McCarthy in the 1-1 draw between the Merseysiders and West Ham at the beginning of November and Hammers fans were warned that he was likely to be out for up to three months.However the 28-year-old made his comeback in the 2-0 win over Liverpool at the Boleyn yesterday afternoon - and treated Hammers fans to some of his trademark skills in his brief cameo as second half replacement for Enner Valencia, who like Payet spent a long and frustrating spell out injured.
Posting via his Instagram account, Payet said: "The way has been long. With hard work I returned yesterday. Thank you to the medical staff at West Ham for having me back. Thank you to all the fans for the welcome and the love you give me every day. God bless you."
