Leko provides an update on knee injury which has kept him out since January

Jonathan Leko hopes he can make an impact next season once he returns from injury.

The MK Dons forward, who made 28 appearances for four goals in the first-half of the season, lasted just four minutes into his loan spell at Burton Albion in January before suffering a cruciate knee injury which has ruled him out since.

With his return still a way off, the 25-year-old, who celebrated his birthday on Wednesday, said he has received a lot of support from Dons fans during his recovery, and hopes he can make his comeback as quickly as possible next season.

"I want to thank everyone for the support they've given me and all the nice messages I've received while I'm on my road to recovery,” he said. “There's still a long way for me to go, but I'll be behind the boys the entire time through their promotion push.

“Hopefully, I'll be making my return as soon as I can next season.”
