Norwich City defender Timm Klose could be set for a return to the team before the end of this season.
Klose was feared to have missed the entire campaign due to a knee injury that he suffered at the start of the season.
But the 31-year-old has a chance of being back before the run in, which would greatly improve Norwich's chances of staying in the Premier League.
"I am feeling well at the moment. I am within the timeline and have reached all the goals so far," Klose told the Norwich website.
"The next stage is to get rid of the brace and get the muscle mass back and then to start running. I am very positive about everything.
"I don't want to put a date on when I will be back because that puts pressure on me, and supporters would stress out if I am not fit when I said I would be.
"Let's see how it develops and hopefully I can play some games this season."
