Monica Lierhaus says she plans to return to RTL after breaking her leg
German sports presenter Monica Lierhaus broke her leg in a fall at home a few weeks ago.
She says the fracture has healed well, she is doing rehabilitation and no longer needs crutches.
Lierhaus has also said she hopes to return to RTL at the end of October, if her recovery continues well.

What people are saying
Ich bin in meiner Wohnung unglücklich gestürzt und habe mir dabei das Bein gebrochen.
Inzwischen geht es mir schon wieder viel besser.
Der Bruch ist gut verheilt, ich mache Reha-Maßnahmen und werde Ende Oktober, wenn alles so gut weitergeht, vor die Kamera bei RTL zurückkehren.
So richtig akzeptiert habe ich es bis heute nicht.
