Janos Kovacs could be back playing for Hereford United within four weeks according to manager Simon Davey. The defender had an operation for a suspected torn cartilage last week but the injury isn't as serious as first thought.
"The prognosis was he would be out for four to eight weeks but when they went inside his knee they couldn't find any tear," Davey told BBC Hereford and Worcester.
"Even though he's gone under general anesthetic and he has had an operation the time scale of when he will be back has probably been halved.
"It is two to four weeks now whereas it had been up to eight weeks."
In other news from the club, home supporters can sit in the new temporary stand on the Blackfriars End of Edgar Street this Saturday for the visit of Southend. Admission prices will be the same as the terraces - Adults £13, Concessions £9 and under 10's £3.
Finally the club are looking for a special person to help run the VP club as Veronica Richardson is standing down. More details on the OS.
