surgery to repair his left patellar tendon in March.
Southampton manager Ronald Koeman said goalkeeper Fraser
Forster is recovering well from a knee injury and is set for a
return to training in four to five weeks.
Forster has been sidelined since he underwent surgery to repair
a damaged left patellar tendon suffered against Burnley in
March.
The 27-year-old England international is now in line for a
comeback earlier than expected.
"He's doing very well, everything is going to plan and it is fast,"
Koeman said ahead of Saturday's trip to lowly Sunderland.
"I don't want to say he will be back in four weeks but it's going
good. He could be part of the group in four or five weeks."
Koeman, who has used Dutch veteran Maarten Stekelenburg in
Forster's absence, added: "He has worked very hard and is
already training with Dave Watson, and that's real goalkeeper
sessions.
"Everybody is happy with how he is and that he's recovering
well. We know it takes a long time to recover to 100 per cent but
he will come back.
"He's coming back from April which is a long time. He needs
continued training and his first game will be in the under-21s.
"That's the same for everybody, goalkeepers, defenders and
midfielders. Everybody plays in the under-21s first."
