His club say they are "cautiously optimistic" he will play again this season but are not setting a timescale. Brooks was expected to be out for 12 weeks after surgery on ligament damage suffered in a friendly last July. Brooks has missed all of the Premier League season so far and the second half of Wales' successful Euro 2020 qualifying campaign. He has won 12 caps for Wales and scored his only international goal in the 2-1 defeat against Croatia in June 2019.
