Daniel Craig Has Knee Surgery After Bond Film Injury

James Bond star Daniel Craig has had knee surgery after sustaining an injury while filming action scenes for the latest installment of the spy series.

Craig had what was described by Eon Productions as a "minor procedure" during the Easter filming break.
The 47-year-old was filming in Mexico before he returned to New York last weekend, when the surgery is believed to have taken place.

A spokeswoman for Eon Productions denied reports Craig had been forced to miss several days of filming for Spectre, which will be released on November 6th.

It will be the actor's fourth outing as Bond.

The spokeswoman said: "During a scheduled break, Daniel Craig had arthroscopic surgery to repair his knee injury.

"He will rejoin production on 22 April at Pinewood."

Bond's past looks set to haunt him in the latest film, with 007 receiving a cryptic message leading him on a trail to find out the truth behind a shady crime syndicate called Spectre.
