Team GB's Robbie Grabarz has revealed that he should be fit enough to return to competition at the start of the 2015 season.
In May of this year, the 27-year-old high-jumper decided to go under the knife to correct a knee injury, which ruled him out of this summer's Commonwealth Games and European Championships.
However, having almost completed his rehabilitation process, the Olympic bronze medalist has confirmed that it "seems to be looking good for the season ahead".
"I had to make a tough discussion in May time on whether to have surgery on my knee. There was no real trauma or injury it just had been worn out through jumping on it for about 15 years," Grabarz told Team GB's official website.
"I missed the whole outdoor season and had surgery which was a success. I've been doing my rehab all summer and everything is going well and seems to be looking good for the season ahead."
Enfield-born Grabarz won gold at the 2012 European Championships.
