Cameron Carter-Vickers has revealed his knee is "as good as it can be" as he begins his rehab from surgery.
The defender - out for the rest of the season - is currently sidelined after going under the knife to correct a knee injury.
But Carter-Vickers, 25, has opened up on his rehab and offered a "positive" update - even if there is no timeline in place for his return.
Speaking to broadcaster CBS, Carter-Vickers said: "The knee is as good as it can be, I got surgery last week.
"I’m just rehabbing from that and it’s still early days so it’s hard to put a timeline on it at the moment.
"But I’m positive about it and I’m sure I’ll be back as soon as possible."

Ange Postecoglou confirmed Carter-Vickers season was over after the win over Rangers at Hampden last month.
The Celtic boss explained: "That's Cameron Carter-Vickers last game of the year.
"He's been carrying an injury for I don't know how long.
"We'll put him out to pasture for a little bit now."
After the win over Hearts to seal the title, Carter-Vickers said of the league triumph: "It was great (to see the hard work come to fruition). It was a tough game like it always is when we come here but we have built our season on coming to places like this and getting results.
"We always try to improve and we are concentrating on improving. The manager makes sure of that. Next season we are coming back and trying to improve again.
"There is always room to improve.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
