"Rehab is rockinggggggg" - Roger Federer provides latest injury update

20-time Major champion Roger Federer broke the internet on Monday with his latest Instagram post. Federer put up a picture of himself training in the gym with the caption, "Rehab is rockinggggggg," raising hopes of an imminent return to the tour.

The 40-year-old has been out of action since July after aggravating a knee injury. He underwent a third surgery on the joint in August, after which he was seen briefly using crutches.

Despite multiple setbacks, Federer has maintained that he is keen to make one last comeback. The eight-time Wimbledon champion, who will turn 41 this August, now looks on track to return in the autumn.

Roger Federer posted a series of three images on Instagram with the caption: "Rehab is rockinggggggg."

Interestingly, the focus of his training in these photos appears to be his legs, which have been the source of his biggest physical concerns in recent years.

While Federer's latest post is terrific news for the player himself and his fans, it is pertinent to note that he is still in the early stages of his recovery. The Swiss has made it clear that Wimbledon will be a bit too soon on his return timeline, meaning it could take another four or five months until fans can see their favorite player back in action.
