Wilkinson reveals ankle woe
England rugby hero Jonny Wilkinson has revealed an ankle injury left him barely able to complete Saturday’s World Cup final.
The fly-half turned his ankle in training ahead of the tournament and he missed the opening pool matches against USA and South Africa - to whom they lost the final 15-6. But, writing in his column for The Times, Wilkinson admitted he made his comeback far earlier than he would have liked.
“The fact is that my right ankle — the one I turned in our first training session in Versailles all those weeks ago — has been giving me trouble throughout the tournament,” he said. “I have been having treatment on it pretty much every day and, for the first time, I had to have treatment on it at half-time on Saturday.”
He added: “Phil Pask, one of our physios, said that the rehab on the ankle here was three or four weeks shorter than he would have liked.
