It has been feared that the latest injury could threaten the Serbian defender’s career.
The 30-year-old is set to be out of action for up to 12 months after he raptured three ligament in his right knee during the Champions League clash with Basel earlier this season.
“The first forecasts say it can last for a year, but it is meaningless to talk about the end of his career,” Vidic’s agent Silvana Martina is quoted by the Daily Mail.
“It’s a serious injury but club doctors assure us that the recovery will run smoothly and he will be back on the field.
“It will take time to get back into the old rhythm, but there is no doubt that Vidic will be his old self again.
“Nemanja is feeling good. He will be back next year stronger and better.”
