Earlier, he sat out the Bundesliga bout versus Augsburg due to an ankle knock. The club regrettably confirmed that Adeyemi won't be available to BVB "in the coming weeks."

Recovery Timeline Insights
Regarding the typical recovery timeline for a partial tear of the syndesmosis, like Adeyemi's, research from a study focusing on the return-to-play after surgical fixation for isolated unstable syndesmosis injuries provides some insights[2].
- Sport-Specific Rehabilitation: The aggregated time necessary to commence sport-specific rehabilitation post-surgical fixation is approximately 37 days ± 12 days.
- Resumption of Team Training: The approximate average time to rejoin team training is approximately 72 days ± 28 days.
- First Official Match: The standard time to play in the first official match after returning to team training is roughly 103 days ± 28 days.
The severity of the injury, concurrent talar cartilage damage, and the player's age may influence these times. In the case of a partial tear, recovery might be slightly quicker. Nevertheless, diligent adherence to a structured rehabilitation program is crucial for ensuring a safe and successful return to play.
In summary, while specific circumstances might necessitate adjustments, a tentative recovery timing for a partial tear could look like this:
- Sport-Specific Rehabilitation: Around 37 days
- Team Training: About 72 days
- First Official Match: Approximately 103 days
These figures should be considered general guidelines that may need tweaking based on the injury's specific characteristics and the player's progress throughout rehabilitation.
