Doctors performing foot and groin surgeries claim that Harry Kewell will be able to return to the field only after four months.
The 28-year-old football player has not played since June, when he suffered an injury while representing his country at the World Cup in Germany.
"I should be fully recovered around February," said H. Kewell. "I am eager to play, but I will have to wait a little longer."
"The past seven weeks have been very tough, so I want to return home as soon as possible."
"Now both my foot and groin hurt a bit, but the surgeons are satisfied with the operation."
Just a reminder that H. Kewell, who moved from "Leeds" to Liverpool for 5 million pounds, was diagnosed with joint inflammation, causing him to miss a month of play in Australia.
