Manchester United winger Tahith Chong has admitted that he has found it "tough" to take up a watching brief during his time out of the Birmingham City side through injury in recent months.
The Dutchman, who joined the Championship club on a season-long loan deal from United back in July, made his first appearance since October during the Blues' 2-0 defeat to Huddersfield Town on Saturday afternoon after recovering from a serious thigh injury that required surgery. Chong, who returned to Carrington during his recovery programme, stepped off the bench to store a valuable 24 minutes under his belt, before starting and scoring for the Under-23s in a 4-2 win over Middlesbrough less than 24 hours later on Sunday afternoon, further bolstering his fitness levels.
Having now made his long-awaited comeback, Chong, who will be hoping to help Birmingham enjoy a strong end to the season, has reflected on his time on the sidelines.
