Porter determined to bounce back
After suffering some niggling injuries towards the end of last season the Rams frontman had hoped a summer break would do the trick.[LNB]But despite coming through pre-season unscathed a hip problem flared up again and he underwent an operation last month which will keep him out until December.[LNB]"It was demoralising at first, but I've dealt with it now in my own head and I am just keeping myself in good shape for when I do get back," he told Derby's official website.[LNB]"I was down at first, but I knew very quickly that I had to get myself in a good state of mind. I realised I had to be positive and I know I'll be back from this.[LNB]"I'm trying to keep in good shape so I don't have to catch up fitness-wise as much. I know I will be behind in some aspects compared to the rest of the lads, but if I work really hard it won't take me as long to get up to speed."[LNB][LNB]
