Michal Zyro on track for Wolves comeback in April

The 24-year-old is on his way back from a cruciate knee ligament injury, suffered when he was the victim of a horror challenge from MK Dons defender Antony Kay in April.

Zyro has been undergoing physiotherapy at Compton Park and could possibly be back in light training in two months' time.

Wolves' head of medical Phil Hayward is pleased with Zyro's progress and, while of course reluctant to push him back, thinks April is when the player may be available again.

"He's doing well," Hayward said. "He's had an appointment in the past couple of weeks with the consultant who's really happy with his progress.

"We're probably looking towards the end of the season, maybe April time, which will be the one-year mark.

"He's on track. He's doing quite nicely and we're working away ticking off the boxes as we go along, rather than trying to look too far ahead.

"Breaking it down and ticking things off one by one is the best way to focus mentally, I think, rather than think about things that are too far ahead as you can lose some focus.

"With shorter term goals, you tick them off, and it speeds the process up in your own mind."

Zyro, who scored three goals in eight appearances for Wolves after joining from Legia Warsaw last January, has had fellow cruciate knee ligament injury victims Nouha Dicko and Jordan Graham for company – and advice.

Hayward added: "These aren't simple injuries. A cruciate knee ligament injury isn't just serious, it's career-threatening. When you've got two or three structures in the knee involved it's a serious problem.

"He's been great. Part of that is the fact he's had other people like Nouha and Jordan to talk to as well.

"And part of that is he's got a settled family situation. He's in a different country but it's not like he's on his own in a flat.

"He's been really positive. He's accepted his injury and started the process to get back to training."
