Smiling Dos Santos thanks fans after successful surgery follows horrific injury

Mexico star Giovani dos Santos has thanked fans for their support, and vowed to come back stronger, after suffering a horrific injury playing for Club America in a Liga MX game.

The former Barcelona and Tottenham player only signed for America in July, ending a four-year spell in MLS with the LA Galaxy. His last two seasons in Los Angeles had been plagued by injury, and the club had voided his contract in March.

He was working himself back to fitness, playing for the first time in his home country, and had scored one goal in his first five appearances for America.
