Kisnorbo Looks To The Future

as seen on au.fourfourtwo.com

Socceroo Patrick Kisnorbo is looking ahead to the future after making his Leicester City comeback on the weekend following an injury ravaged last 12 months.

Kisnorbo has endured a luckless run in the last year after he sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury on his left knee last April before damaging his right posterior cruciate ligament just a few games into his comeback in November.

But after four months on the sidelines, the 27-year-old Australian defender successfully returned to action as an 82nd minute substitute in the Foxes' 1-0 victory at Millwall in League One on Saturday.

"It felt good to finally get back on the pitch on Saturday. I have been back in training for a while now and I was just desperate to get back involved," Kisnorbo told Leicester TV.

And Kisnorbo, who hasn't played for the Socceroos since the 2007 Asian Cup, isn't interested in looking back at his bad run of luck and instead wants to focus on the future as his club strives for promotion to the Championship.

"We simply concentrate on what is put in front of us - that's all you can do at this stage of the season," Kisnorbo added.

"We are totally focussed on the job in hand. We face Colchester United on Saturday and that is all that will be on my mind between now and then."

The former Hearts man did also want to thank the fans for their support as he recovered from his injury nightmare.

"On a personal level, I have had so many people wishing me well throughout the whole time I was out," he said.

"Sometimes you think you might be forgotten when you have a spell on the sidelines, but everyone has been fantastic."
