Walter Wallberg has just returned from an operation on his cruciate ligament that he injured in February.

He has for a period trained water jumping and had no feelings of his injured knee.

But three weeks ago, the accident occurred.

- It was a small setback, he says.

The setback means that Wallberg has now received a directive to increase the load on the knee for six weeks and is expected to be able to start training on snow only in December.

Hope to compete in the new year

When he is in competition form is impossible to say but he is optimistic.

- It depends on the knee, but right now it is rolling very well.

I'm not in pain and I hope to be able to start competing in January-February.

He believes the injury will affect his ride.

- Yes, it will probably take a while before I can trust my knee.

But it's just building that trust.
