I would suffer with a hot spot just in front of the outside ankle bone, and many also seem to get bone chips or fragments of scar tissue becoming a problem.
Kicking the footy, and other actions that require you to extend your foot can aggravate recovery, and often if there is permanent damage you end up with some pronation that leaves you susceptible to further ankle rolls.
It's a bastard as you get older because you roll your ankle so easily. Back in my day strapping was the only solution, now they operate for a better long term fix.
Coming back too soon is a real risk, for some reason the tendons and ligaments in that area seem slow to heal and regain strength.
