Kaio Jorge is delighted to be back with Juventus and having a full preseason.

Jorge, now fully recovered from knee surgery, was the star for yesterday's intra-club season curtain raiser against the NextGen team.

The seniors won 8-0, with Jorge scoring a hat-trick.

He later told TMW: "It was very difficult, I overcame it well and my knee is fine. I'm waiting to pick up the pace and keep going. The emotions experienced? I've been waiting for it since I arrived here, to score at home with all these fans, it was great.

"I see myself here after this match, it can help a lot. I leave everything in the hands of God and in those of the managers. NextGen? Let's see what they decide, but I'm fine. Where they put me to play, I go."
