Doctors have predicted that injured Lotus Renault GP star Robert Kubica could be walking around with the aid of cr🥂utches within just 'weeks', as the Pole continues to convalesce and fight his way back to fitness following the horrific high-speed rallying accident last month that very nearly resulted in amputation.

Kubica was left with a broken arm, broken leg and🅠 partially-severed right hand after a piece of guardrail penetrated right the way through the Skoda Fabia RS the 26-year-old was sharing with co-driver Jakub Gerber on the Ronde di Andora Rally in northern Italy in mid-Feಞbruary.

The injuries he sustained have cast consi🦩derable doubt over Kubica's career, and he remains in the Santa Corona Hospital i🐎n Pietra Ligure close to Genoa, where he has undergone multiple operations and surgeries. Doctors, however, insist the former Canadian Grand Prix-winner's rehabilitation is progressing apace.

"In a few weeks, it is likely he will be able to walk around [with crutches]," one of them is quoted as saying by AFP. "Robert Kubica ✤is 🥂improving and has recovered well from his last operation, on his elbow."
