The Swansea City striker has been out of action following a hernia operation to cure a problem that has dogged him since he arrived at Swansea last summer.
Pintado though is now 100% fit and ready to return to action as the Swans continue their play off push.
He said "The op went well and everything is OK. I can play at 100 per cent now – that was not possible before.
"I've heard the fans sing my name and I hope to give them more to shout about."
