Sulley Muntari is hoping to recover from a knee injury even before his expected due date.

The Ghana and AC Milan midfielder last week underwent surgery to repair ruptured anterior cruciate ligaments after suffering an injury during an exhibition game in Accra.

The 27 year-old player has already started physiotherapy sessions just days after the operation which had ruled him out for six months.

Muntari thinks he can be ready for before January 2013 but he is not pushing himself too early.
