David Rudisha has been ruled out of training for up to 4 months after undergoing an ankle surgery in Eldoret.
The two-time Olympic 800m champions is eager to participate at his 3rd Olympic games that are scheduled for next year.
Rudisha twisted his ankle at home in Kilgoris, Narok County on 19th May.
He was examined and diagnosed with an ankle fracture at St Luke’s hospital in Eldoret.
“During a walk on the compound the 31-year-old stepped on uneven ground, and initially believed it was not a serious injury” Rudisha’s manager Michel Boeting said in a statement.
“He continued with exercises that wouldn’t cause further harm to his ankle but after a lack of improvement over the weekend.”
He is expected to be out for 12 to 16 weeks.
The 31-year-old has not competed since May 2017 due to injuries.
