Stuart Holden was speaking to Fox Sports on Friday night giving his opinion about the USA World Cup qualifying campaign and also gave an update on his injury status.
When asked about his scheduled recovery time, the Bolton midfielder said:
"I tore my ACL in the (Gold Cup) final and, for me, it was a major setback. It was crushing at the time, but, once again, I know what I have to do to get myself healthy and there's no unknowns like there was with my last injuries. The surgery has been done and I'm now nine weeks post-op.
"I'm doing some great work rehab-wise. I have just started slow jogging and building my strength up, and the next 2-3 months are going to be exciting for me because I'll be getting back to playing.
"The plan is, by December, I'm looking to be back out on the field. I'm stepping up my rehab, in terms of doing some ball work, stepping up my fitness and getting that core fitness back just to make sure that my knee is comfortable in cutting in and all the hard turns and little things you experience in a game."
