He has been absent from WWE television ever since. He underwent surgery a few weeks after the injury and recently shared an update on how his recovery process is going.
Kofi Kingston Is Optimistic Regarding His Ankle Injury
Kingston recently did an interview with The Battleground Podcast wherein he discussed his surgery and rehabilitation. He described how surgeons removed a bone chip from his ankle in addition to repairing a ligament that had been damaged when he sustained his injury. Wrestling News Co. has provided the following transcription:
I'm actually in Orlando right now doing some rehab on my ankle. I had ankle surgery to remove a bone chip and fix a ligament after the massive Scottish, behemoth of a man's Drew McIntyre landed on my leg and my body went east and my leg went West and my ankle was completely sprained. But they took out some bone chips and fixed the ligament. And now I'm on the mend. You know somewhere in between a robot and a zombie and you know, so somewhere in between I'm working my way back to the fold. So it's all good.
Kofi went on to express that rehabilitation is going well, and that hopefully, fans will see him back in the ring "sooner rather than later."
We at Sportster wish Kofi the best in his continued recovery.
