Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster could reportedly have to wait until next summer before he is fit enough to return for the Premier League club.
The Saints and England stopper underwent surgery on an infamous knee injury sustained back in March, which led to initial predictions that he would be out for between nine and 12 months.
However, according to The Sun, those early estimates may have been short of the mark and the 27-year-old could have to wait until the summer of 2016 before he is fully fit again.
Forster has so far made 30 appearances for Southampton, having joined in 2014.
