KIDDERMINSTER Harriers midfielder Thomas Skovbjerg is recovering from a second operation on his badly injured right knee.

The Danish import suffered cruciate ligament damage during Kidderminster's home 1-1 Nationwide Conference draw with Altrincham on Saturday, March 11. He is expected to be out for the rest of the year.

After his first operation Skovbjerg went back home to Denmark and returned to this country to have further surgery earlier this week to reconstruct his knee.

He is progressing well and was expected to watch promotion-chasing Kidderminster in today's top-of-the-table clash with Rushden and Diamonds at Aggborough.
