The 21-year-old had a starring role last season before he broke his kneecap in April.

Neto – who it was initially hoped could return this month – then suffered a setback in the summer, with Lage instead targeting a comeback later in the year.

The winger is currently continuing his recovery in his native Portugal and after club doctor Rob Chakraverty recently assessed him.Lage is now expecting Neto to return in the New Year.

“The good news is that everything is OK with his injury and now he will start to work harder than he has until this day,” Lage said.
