Bojan spoke to RedTV in Portugal as he continues his recovery from the injury he sustained in the St Mirren match at the end of last season. The good news is the striker is nearing a return.

“Now I am starting on the pitch with the ball and hope next week I will start with the team as well.

“The rehabilitation is going really well and I didn’t think I would be so lucky.

“I was in shock in that moment. I just thought the worst because I didn’t feel good. I didn’t sleep for two to three days as I awaited the results. The first impression was not good, but after the scan and the MRI it is good news.

“It is unbelievable to be back out there running. I miss the ball and miss the players so am looking forward to training with them again.”

“After one month I start on the pitch so that is good news.”

“It was disappointing to miss the games for North Macedonia this summer. It is always an honour to play for the national team and of course I wanted to play in those games.

“I feel proud when I represent my country. It was hard but the injury came in the best possible moment, at the end of the season, so I just missed the international games.

“I am here, back on the pitch now and feel great.”

The 24-year-old netted 18 goals in all competitions in his debut season with the Dons. He is looking to build on that this season.

“It will be my first season playing in Europe and a new challenge for me. It is always good when you play against strong teams in different leagues. I am looking forward to these games and I hope we make the fans happy. I scored 18 goals last season and of course I want to score more goals in the upcoming season. And I want to represent the club in a good way in Europe.”

Miovski has been rooming with new striker Ester Sokler as he helps his fellow striker settle into the squad.

“Ester is a very good guy and for the first three or four days we spoke only English. Then we came to Portugal and he started to speak in my language. It is quite similar. We speak English and we speak the same language. Now we know each other better because we speak the same language and are in the same room together.

“I told him what he can expect now he is here. What he can expect from the fans on the pitch, how the league is. I help him a lot with these things.”
