Former Barcelona player Malcom was expected to have a brilliant career ahead of him for the Catalans. Failing to earn a spot in the squad, he made the move to Russia's Zenit in the hopes of more playing time.
But his start to life in Russia was marred by an injury that left him sidelined, making things even harder for the young Brazilian.
Finally, he started making an impact and had some impressive performances for Zenit in only four games before the season had to be halted due to coronavirus pandemic.
