Pinilla has returned to Hearts after his six-month loan

The 23-year-old returned to his homeland for six months after failing to settle at Tynecastle.

But his time there became front page news following allegations of secret meetings with the wife of Chile captain Luis Jimenez.

Pinilla flew to Austria with the squad on Wednesday for two pre-season games.

There had also been reports that he was considering quitting football.

But his agent, Hugo Rubio, insisted that the player would honour his contract and was looking forward to the coming season with Hearts.

Pinilla, still 50% owned by Inter Milan, had spells with the Italian club, Chievo, Celta Vigo, Racing Santander and Sporting Lisbon before moving to Tynecastle last summer.
