Bouncing back from injuries could be tough, but for a star like Usain Bolt, he rose from his troubles like a champ. He recently sustained severe injuries and had to be stretchered out of the soccer field. It turns out, he slipped and ruptured his Achilles and might need a medical procedure to address the injury.
Bolt had participated in a match for the UNICEF Soccer Aid while juggling his role as an ambassador for the T20 Men’s World Cup. But things took a turn for the worse after a bad fall to the ground. Medical staff took him away on a stretcher as onlookers watched with anxious eyes.
Later, Bolt took his Instagram account to post pictures of the aftermath of his fall on the field. Sporting a cast and some crutches, he still mustered a smile for the camera, assuring fans that he would bounce back quickly.
In his recent post, he was seen on a hospital bed holding on to his crutches while smiling widely for the camera. His leg was still in a fresh cast, but he seemed healthier and happier since the procedure was done.
