Noami Undergoes Knee Surgery; Likely Sidelined for Five Months

-- WWE.com posted an article indicating that Noam Dar will be sidelined for around five months after undergoing left knee surgery. The article states that Dar initially injured himself on the November 27 Raw, but was working through it despite lingering issues. The knee gave out again this past weekend, prompting him to undergo an MRI on Monday which revealed a meniscus tear.

“I learned that I had a tear of the meniscus — a bucket handle tear — which is a pretty common tear for athletes,” The Scottish Supernova told WWE.com after his surgery, which was the first time he had ever undergone an invasive procedure.

Even though this type of injury is fairly routine among athletes, a long road to recovery is unavoidable.

“We don’t have any confirmed time frame just yet because I obviously need to see the post-op, but it’s more than likely going to be around the five-month mark,” Dar explained. “That would be with me working extensively at the [WWE] Performance Center, so that will make a huge difference. Staying on top of everything so we can hopefully take that time down a little bit.”
