There were fears the France striker would be out until November after undergoing knee surgery in America earlier this month.

But the Barclays Premier League champions insist the 28-year-old is recovering well and is continuing his rehabilitation.

The club said in a statement: "Louis underwent surgery in the USA earlier this month to treat a knee problem that developed at the end of last season.

"Louis is currently continuing his rehabilitation in France under guidance from the specialist and the club's medical team.

"He is making good progress and is expected to be fit for full training by the start of the new season."

Saha struggled with hamstring and knee problems in the second half of last season, limiting him to just four starts in 2007.
