New Leeds United signing Kevin Nicholls looks set to avoid surgery on his injured knee.
Kevin, pictured with young United fan Debbie Smith, underwent a scan on the injury and has also visited a specialist.
The scan shows ligament damage, but the specialist has advised against surgery at this moment in time.
The injury to the £700,000 signing will be reviewed again in four weeks, but Kevin has been warned he could still face a recuperation period of up to three months on the sidelines.
United manager Kevin Blackwell said: "It's good news that Kevin doesn't need an operation right now.
"These days there is always the risk of complications with surgery, as we found out with Steve Stone last season."
Kevin damaged his knee during his first training session with the club last week.

No theres no op at the moment, they are going to reaccess the situation in 4 weeks, he still may need an op! Key words for you guys....
"reviewed again in four weeks"
"doesn't need an operation right now"
Read things properly before getting excited......

So really it is potentially gonna be like a sisgning in the January window by the time he is fit. So when you take him out of the equation, this leaves us with one new addition in Carole to go against the 4 or 5 to have left. Oh and does anyone know......the season starts in 3 days  |
