The Honduran internationalist broke his ankle against Aberdeen at the start of August and has started a seven week programme to complete his rehabilitation.
“I think my back every day, but I hope to recover as quickly as possible to keep me happy because I love playing football,” he told Honduran newspaper el Heraldo. “I particularly want to play a match in the Europa League even a few minutes.”
Looking back at the injury he suffered at Aberdeen the full-back admitted: “I felt the fracture that day, I remember all too well, it was a Sunday and I was operated on a Thursday.
“I lived a very difficult time because I knew what was happening with me when I was attending but I’m grateful to God that I strained my ligaments.”
“I was really disappointed but I said the that the time that I was sidelined would be good for my family. My relatives have given me much encouragement. I could spend time with them.
“This injury has allowed me to spend more time with my son than if I was playing football-maybe it was time for me to spend more time with my family.”
Celtic’s final Europa League match is away to Udinese on December 15.
