Clarke underwent surgery on his right hamstring on Tuesday.
Speaking on the surgery, Kountouris was quoted as saying by the cricket.com.au: "He had the surgery yesterday and, speaking to the surgeon, everything went really well."
“He found what he was expecting to find, there were no surprises and he has managed to do a good repair and from that today he's very confident that Michael's going to make a good recovery," he said.
Speaking on Clarke's probable inclusion into the World Cup squad, he said: "Our aim is for him to play in the World Cup, to take part in the World Cup. That'll be the goal."
Speaking on his surgery, Clarke earlier in the day tweeted: "Thanks for all the well wishes. Surgery went really well. The Aust Physio @Alex_Kountouris will update the media this afternoon."
"A few days of rest and recover and watch the boys play well from my bed," he said.
