The striker re-injured his cruciate ligaments at the beginning of April having only just returned from seven months out with the same problem.
The former Manchester United youngster faces most of next season on the sidelines after a re-repair of the joint and is currently in rehabilitation while his team-mates enjoy their summer holidays.
"It's been a few weeks since the operation now," he said. "I'm back at the start now, like last time, and I have to work hard and get my knee back to how it was.
"There's a million different ways to do rehab - the staff are great and are switching things up to keep me sane.
"Some days we're on the (Nintendo) Wii, other days in the pool, just keeping it fresh so I don't get bored or downhearted.
"The biggest part of rehab is always in your head - obviously having to come back and do it all a second time is going to play on my mind but hopefully I can stay strong.
"I've not set any targets. At the moment I've got the leg brace on which will come off in a week, so after that I'll start back on the bike.
"Looking for a potential return date drives you crazy so I don't want to do that."
