Injury before first ultra

Hi all, need some advise please. I tweaked my knee two weeks ago on a 36km run. Finished the run and felt fine but a couple of hours later I had a dull aching pain. Decided to rest for 3/4 days then managed a 10km but the pain soon returned. Its now nearly 2 weeks after and the pain is still there. I can walk fine stretch ect but I'm fearful if I attempt any training it'll flare up.

I'm due to do a 54km on September 19th and don't want to risk failing this. I've come so far from not being able to run 5km in February to hitting 75km a week in July I don't want to put anything at risk.

Can someone advise me if I should try a short run and ease back in or stay resting for another couple of weeks please.
