'He will head back to being a pundit – but the power has really gone to this producer's head. ' Wright had been continuing to host the show, despite having an operation to fuse his ankle bones last month.
What happens when you get your ankle fused?
Ankle fusion surgery clears away swollen and degenerating cartilage in the ankle joint that's causing pain. Once the inflamed structures are removed, the ankle bones are positioned so they can fuse together to form an immobile unit that doesn't depend on cartilage for stability.
How do you recover from a ankle fusion?
2-6 weeks - you will have a cast or boot and be non-weight bearing with crutches. 6-12 weeks - you will have a cast or boot so you will be able to take some of your weight with crutches if advised by your consultant. 12 weeks onwards - you should be able to take your full weight and wear normal shoes.
