Kisnorbo Back After Injury

as seen on au.fourfourtwo.com

Unlucky Australian defender Patrick Kisnorbo has returned to action with Leicester City in League One after a four-month layoff with a knee injury.

The one-time Socceroos regular, who has had an injury plagued last 12 months, made a cameo appearance as an 82nd minute substitute in the Foxes' 1-0 victory at Millwall today.

Kisnorbo got through the last ten minutes or so of the match unscathed and will breathe a sigh of relief after sustaining an injury upon his return from his last setback in November.

The 27-year-old defender had only made a handful of appearances for the Foxes in November after recovering from a six-month absence due to knee ligament damage, when he injured his other knee against Stevenage Borough in the FA Cup.

Kisnorbo, who hasn't played for the Socceroos since the 2007 Asian Cup, has every reason to work hard to get back to full fitness with his club likely to secure automatic promotion to the Championship and with his national teamedging closer to qualification for the 2010 World Cup.

In the short-term, Kisnorbo will have a full week to recover before he hopefully continues his comeback next Saturday when the league leading Foxes host Chris Coyne's Colchester United.
