Kofi Kingston Provides Update On His Ankle Injury

Kofi continues to recover after undergoing ankle surgery

WWE star Kofi Kingston hopes to be back in the ring sooner rather than later. 

The former WWE Champion has been out of action since injuring his ankle during a brawl on the March 3 episode of SmackDown. Kofi subsequently had surgery to remove a bone chip and fix a ligament. 

Speaking about his recovery process during a recent appearance on the Battleground Podcast, Kingston said:

"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, 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. Somewhere in between. I'm working my way back into the fold, so it's all good. Life is grand.

"I'm doing really well. I actually had this same surgery on the same ankle about six years ago to have bone chips removed, so I feel like this time around, I kind of know what to expect and I’ve been kind of ahead of schedule for the most part. And I'm really able to do a lot of normal people things and live normal life. So now it's just a matter of trying to like go to the next level and do WWE Superstar things, you know what I mean? In-ring things like that. So I've been in Orlando for the past week just kind of seeing where I'm at. And things are looking pretty good, so hopefully sooner than later, you'll see me in the ring". 

Kofi and his New Day partner Xavier Woods are advertised for WWE's tour of Germany in October.
