“He’ll definitely be for out for a number of weeks. It’s now just a matter of whether he is going to need an operation or not,” McKellar said. “Hopefully, we see him again.”
Typically, recovery times for syndesmosis injuries range from 6-12 weeks for mild to moderate injuries. But, for ligament ruptures that require surgical repair, it can take between three and six months.
There are eight regular season rounds of Super Rugby remaining. The Wallabies’ first Test against the British and Irish Lions is 16 weeks away.
“It was one of those hip-drop type tackles; it was kind of a heart-in-mouth moment because you could see he was hurt straight away,” McKellar said.
