Jesper Nelin to miss preseason after knee surgery

Biathlete Jesper Nelin, 33, will miss part of the preseason after knee surgery.

"A damaged meniscus has given me an involuntary break from biathlon. But thanks to good help, it has now been operated on," the 33-year-old writes on Instagram, saying he is a few weeks away from full training again.

The national team star tells Expressen that the injury occurred during a very tough training period.

I tried to make it work anyway and after my symptoms changed a bit the doctors said, "We have to sort that out." Then it was surgery and now we have fixed it, and that is very positive, he tells the newspaper.
