Acl tear left knee. Like before?

Yes you will be able to play football again after few months after surgery But you need to undergo that surgery within 6 weeks of injury However remember one very important thing the physiotherapy and rehab after surgery should be taken equally seriously and go to a physiotherapist who has experience in dealing with such injuries and can put you on a rehab program which will help you back to playing football Inform the doctor and the physio at every stage that you want to play football again it will take some time but it will happen One of my patients with similar injury ( a cricketer ) just finished 1 year post surgery and he became man of the match Local ice application for the time being and get your knee movements back before the surgery to get the best result All the best for your recovery
