Richard Lee looks set to miss the start of the season.
"It's a problem I've been dealing with for some months now," said Lee.
"It meant that I trained very little towards the end of last season and it was just a case of doing enough to get by without aggravating it."
Added the keeper: "Being at the start of the season I don't want to go down that road again as it can be tough to hit top form when doing minimal training and the physios have advised against that anyway.
"This, though, means that I'm likely to be a couple more weeks out with this while the swelling goes down and I strengthen the knee, therefore there's a good chance I'll miss the start of the season.
"Not ideal at all but thankfully the boss has been understanding and it's been made clear to me that I've got to get my knee right before resuming training."
