Chimp,

Current assessment - is your calf sore on bent knee or straight knee calf raises, do you have full stretch, any swelling or bruising? are you able to walk?

Treatment starts with obtaining normal gait (pool vs land), manage swelling and acute injury. Once scar tissue is forming then start DL calf raises (remember that is is different timimg for everyone). You need to rehabilitate your calf to return to sport!! otherwise you have not ticked off all the return to sport criteria!!

? did you have you full stretch?
? did you have you have full strength? single leg calf raise off step and single leg hopping
? did you get back to 95% speed before returning?
? did you complete 95% speed?
? did you have 1 full week of training before your game?
