@chrisjagiello: Assessing an ankle injury at half-time ⚽️🩺 When a player goes down with an ankle injury during the first half, half-time is an important opportunity to reassess before deciding whether they’re safe to return. 🔎 Check the mechanism of injury 🦶 Assess pain, swelling and tenderness ↔️ Compare movement with the unaffected side 💪 Test strength and function 🏃‍♀️ Progress through sport-specific movements if appropriate The key question isn’t simply “Can they keep playing?” It’s “Can they safely return without increasing the risk of making the injury worse?” If there’s significant pain, instability, loss of function or concern about a more serious injury, don’t rush the return. Player welfare always comes first. 💙⚽️ #WomensFootball #sportstherapy #footballinjuries #ankleinjury #injuryassessment@LMWFC @Jessica Clark
