Stevan Jovetić is back, football is in the center of attention again, in football-sad Monaco, writes the French "Ve Sport" after the Montenegrin striker's return to the field after an eight-month break due to a serious injury and knee surgery.

The same could be said for the Montenegrin national team, with the fact that the 30-year-old striker will have to wait at least until March next year, when a friendly match should be played, to return to the "Falcon" jersey.

- I am happy to be on the field again, but sad because of the defeat - said Jovetic, after entering the game in the 59th minute instead of Cesc Fabregas, in the convincing defeat of the "princes" at home in the League Cup.

In the French championship, Monaco is only 10th in the table - far from the top, but also far from the danger zone, which in these circumstances may be good for Jovetic, who will not have many stressful matches until the end of the season, so he will gradually be able to return in rhythm after a long break.

In the Principality, however, they couldn't wait for his return...

"A great football player, for whom his body is his worst enemy. We all know that this is a unique and very rare profile in modern football: able to create, to distribute, to find a way out of any situation, in any way, with a dribble, an assist or a killer shot. In short - class", writes "Ve sport".

Monaco fans, however, hope that Jovetic's return could turn Monaco's season around.

"His connection with Ben Yedder, his technical relationship with Fabregas and Golovin, could offer coach Jardim a strong option more in attack. The clay-bodied class player, Monaco's top ten, is back on the poster. We pray for his knees, because his game brightens our lives. Stevan, welcome back", writes the journalist of the French newspaper.

In the same text, it is recalled that the Montenegrin representative had as many as 24 injuries in his career, two of the most serious - cruciate ligaments in both knees, and that in two and a half years in Monaco he played only 23 games in the championship and five in the French cups, scoring 12 goals.

"Can Jovetić come back like a phoenix - leave his past behind? Maybe the future is bright after all - maybe it will allow him to show all the potential he has", it is stated at the end.
