Hey,

I would recommend seeing your club physio and asking their opinion. It is always difficult in a club setting because there is limited time to treat and there are often time restraints and pressure to return to sport. If they are unable to provide you with a detailed rehab program then consider visiting your GP for an NHS referral or funding a few sessions privately. Any serious ankle sprain or ligament requires extensive rehabilitation to prepare the muscles and soft tissue to return to sport. I would recommend that if you want to return to high level sport you need to really commit to getting this sorted and that involves completing a home exercise program religiously every day 1-2 times daily and being guided by your physio on when you are ready to progress. A support is certainly something that I would recommend and a physio will be able to tell you the best one (you have not mentioned which ligament was ruptured so it is difficult to suggest one that may be relevant- the mueller ankle support is a good general allround support). Ankles are always a bit tricky and require a lot of strengthening, proprioceptive and sometimes flexibility exercises. If you work hard with the rehab they generally do well.

Hope this has helped
