Andy Murray delivered a short yet positive update regarding his recovery from surgery.

The Brit underwent a procedure on a spinal cyst after retiring from his second round match against Jordan Thompson at Queen’s.

This is another injury on a long list of physical issues that have plagued the 37-year-old for the past several years.

It has thrown the former World number one’s participation at Wimbledon into doubt, where he hinted he could play for the final time.

But with the grass court Grand Slam just a week away, time is running out for Murray to make his decision.

What is Andy Murray’s injury update?

There is now some more clarity regarding Murray’s status for Wimbledon, where he is a two-time champion.

According to The Times, the player stated his rehabilitation is going “really well” and he will make a decision on competing at the All England Club this year as late as he possibly can.

The publication also reported that Murray hopes to play at Wimbledon and the Olympics before hanging up his racket.

“I’m going to wait until the last minute to see if I’m going to be able to play and I’ve earned that right to do that,” he said.

“This is not clear-cut where I am 100% going to be ready to play or there is a 0% chance that I can play. That is the situation. I would say it’s probably more likely that I’m not able to play singles right now.”

Andy Murray explains what happened after retiring from Queen’s

Murray has since opened up on what caused him to have an operation after retiring from Queen’s while trailing 5-1 to Thompson.

He had surgery just three days after the match after feeling some pain that caused him to lose some strength, control and coordination in his right leg.

“The last week has been pretty tough,” Murray added. “I was told I had to have the surgery immediately by multiple surgeons because of the nature of the problem.

“I was given multiple different timelines for how long [recovery] would take and was also made aware that if I decided to try to play Wimbledon that there’s some risk associated with that.

“It’s whether or not I’m willing to take on that risk. But also even with there potentially being a risk, I’ve obviously had the operation and the operation has gone really, really well.”
