European figure skating champion Yevgeny Plushenko said he is feeling fine after the knee surgery in Germany on Thursday.

Plushenko win his seventh European men’s title in Sheffield, England last month in his first international competition since the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. Before that, he used painkiller injection on his troublesome knee during the competition.

On coming 2014 Sochi Games, Plushenko will undergo surgery to sort out his knee issues before resuming the training.

Last month he told the reporters that: “Doctors will have to repair a cartilage and clean up the meniscus in my knee.”

The 2006 Turin Champion, who also has two Olympic silver medals from the 2002 and 2010 games, will miss next month’s world championships Nice, France.
