Ideally a ligament sprain treatment is plaster for the first 2 weeks following which you need to be on an ankle binder and after 3 weeks of ankle binder need to start on ankle exercises.
Xray will not show ligament injuries. Ligament sprains are assessed clinically. Xray is done to rule out fracture thats all..You definitely need to be on a plaster to immobilize the joint following which you need to be on an ankle binder and then exercise.
You should be back to all sports by 6 weeks to 8 weeks.. don't neglect the Injury
