Paul McGinley to return on Thursday
Wednesday, 17 March 2010 19:01Paul McGinley returns to action on Thursday at the Hassan II Trophy, four months after undergoing a sixth knee operation.
'I've been doing my utmost to get my game and fitness back, but I'm not going with any great expectations this first week,' the 43-year-old Dubliner told www.europeantour.com.
'There was a lot more damage than I thought and the knee's still not great - that's the bottom line.
'But I'm so keen to get back playing and with really good physio and gym work the prognosis is quite good.
'My left kneecap has disintegrated quite a bit over the years and the cartilage is just about gone. There was a lot of debris they had to clear out.'
McGinley first suffered knee trouble as a teenager when he was injured playing Gaelic football.
