Norwich City defender Timm Klose hopes to be back from a serious knee injury by the end of the season.

The Switzerland international missed the start of the season because of hip trouble, and then suffered what turned out to be a long-term issue on his first appearance in the Carabao Cup tie at Crawley.

"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."
