Veno's Knee Frustration - Ipswich Town News
Veteran central defender Mark Venus is increasingly frustrated by a knee injury that doesn't seem to go away. The former Wolves man will see a specialist in the next day or so to discover whether he'll need keyhole surgery to cure the problem.
Venus' contract at Portman Road is up in the summer and the 35-year-old is becoming concerned about his future: "Time is running out on my career and I've got to get my knee sorted. I'm having a terrible, terrible time. It's a nightmare."
The injury is a torn tendon and cartilage at the back of the knee. The left-sided player is hoping that surgery will sort it out once and for all: "If the operation is diagnosed then that will be for the best really I think. After that there will be definite light at the end of the tunnel.
"It may take six weeks or so to get back into action, but I'll have a target. I can look forward to the closing stages of the season."
