Injured Bolton star Lee Chung-yong admits he does not know when he will be playing again.[LNB] The 23-year-old South Korean international broke his leg in pre-season and is not expected to play again until early 2012.[LNB]Lee is currently finishing off his initial rehab in his homeland before returning to England next month.[LNB]"My leg is getting better but it definitely helps being back in Korea because it's home, being here will speed up my recovery," he told the Bolton News.[LNB]"My leg's not painful any more but I'm a lot happier here. The system of recovery is no different to the UK but I'm just a lot more comfortable here. I'm still having English lessons and I understand what people say - just not everything - but it's easier to communicate at home.[LNB]"I like the people of Bolton but sometimes I struggle to communicate with them, that's why I like being in Korea because it's easier to talk to people.[LNB]"I like Bolton too but I do miss my friends and family, and especially my mother's cooking.[LNB]"But I will return to England in about two weeks and that will be for the season. I will come back stronger."[LNB]Lee admits he is not going to rush his return, adding: "I don't want to hurry. I want to be completely recovered. I want to play again but I must be 100 per cent right. That's the most important thing.[LNB]"I don't want to rush but I will play again this season. I want to be back as soon as possible."
