Recently Jonny Bairstow shared photos of his injury with an explanation on his official Instagram account.
He has stated:
Hello everyone…
I am just writing this to give you all an update on my injury and progress.
The actual injury was as such… a broken fibula in 3 places which required a plate, i dislocated my ankle which in turn meant I did my syndesmosis joint and lateral ligament along with a couple more bits. All in all, I have done a proper job on it!
Anyway… on the positive side, the operation went well and I am now 3 weeks post surgery and my staples have been removed. It’s now all about swelling prevention and getting my ankle moving once again. These next few weeks/couple of months are the key to the recovery.
As for a time scale on return to play, I’m afraid it is too early to say, the first targets in mind are getting me back on my 2 feet again and making sure it’s right.
One thing is for sure and that is I shall not be partaking in anything more during 2022…however, I cannot wait for what 2023 holds!!
Thanks for your support as always!! JMB
