“A return to the game and back to winning. Thank you very much to all the fans for all their support. The first victory in a long series,” Rico wrote on social media.
Several current and former team-mates commented on the post with messages of support.
“Let’s go guys! Congratulations on that comeback, showing your bravery. I’m really happy for you,” wrote former Real Madrid striker Joselu, who scored twice in the victory.
“So great, my brother!! So happy to see you there,” said Rico’s former PSG team-mate Keylor Navas.
Rico could make his domestic bow against Umm Salal on 5 October in the Qatari Stars Cup.
