Neil Warnock delivers positive news on Kenneth Zohore's injury
Friday 24th November 2017
Kenneth Zohore may make his Cardiff City return as soon as the Norwich City clash on December 1 after Neil Warnock revealed the striker has had an operation.
Zohore has been struggling with a heel injury — which has kept him sidelined since the Bluebirds' 1-0 defeat to Birmingham City on October 13 — meaning Danny Ward has enjoyed an extended run in the side.
But the Dane is close to making a full recovery after undergoing minor surgery, says Warnock.
The Cardiff boss revealed the details of Zohore's operation and was optimistic the influential forward would return sooner rather than later as his injury-hit Bluebirds prepare for a trip to Nottingham Forest.
"Kenneth has had a little operation on the back of his heel and he's had quite a lot of scar tissue taken away," said Warnock at his Friday press conference.
"The surgeon said it shouldn't be long. It's just a healing process now. But he said we did the right thing in trying to manipulate it away and inject it.
"But he said he'd not seen scar tissue around that issue before, it's very unusual. So Ken wasn't lying when he said he was in pain.
"I don't think it'll be long," added Warnock when pressed on a potential return game for Zohore.
The striker has only scored three goals this season but remains one of Cardiff's key attacking weapons.
"They said it would be a couple of weeks. I haven't written Norwich off yet but I imagine definitely the game after."
"So we've got a few that we're trying to nurse through this period and get over the Norwich game, then we've got 10 days off until Reading which will be a blessing."

Good news on Kenneth Zohore! 
Seems he who may not have been the 'Wuss' that some (including the manager) suggested he was, if it needed an op and it'll be good to have him back before the busy period!
