Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Jordan Graham has indicated that he hopes to be back in the first-team fold at Molineux during the autumn.
Graham burst onto the scene at the end of 2015 but his progress was curtailed when he sustained a serious knee injury in January, with the club's medical staff saying that he faced a year out of the sport.
However, the former Aston Villa trainee has said that he may return during the early stages of the next campaign should he continue to make improvements during his recovery.
The 21-year-old told the Express & Star: "I'm probably ahead of schedule. When I originally did it they said more towards the year mark. The specialist is happy that nine months is going to be alright, the way I'm going.
"I'm aiming to be back in training in September, play a couple of under-21 games and then get straight back into it."
Graham had made 12 appearances for Wolves before suffering the setback against Cardiff City on January 18.
