AEW star Buddy Matthews is currently sidelined due to an ankle injury he sustained at Grand Slam: Australia in February. In August, he announced that he would be undergoing surgery for the injury.
Recently, Matthews updated his followers on Instagram about his recovery. He shared that he successfully completed a hack squat for the first time since his surgery.
While he is making progress, he still experiences limited ankle mobility and some numbness. He is working on these issues daily and remains hopeful that the numbness will subside in the near future, although it is still uncertain at this time.
This is what Buddy Matthews wrote, “UPDATE: Today was the first time since surgery to hit a hack squat – still very restricted with ankle mobility but working on it daily! Numbness is still a factor but hopefully subsides in the near future but still unknown at this time. Swelling depends on the amount of rehab I’ve done that day but easily maintained with Icing post. Take each day as it comes!”
There is currently no update on when Matthews will return to action, but further information will be provided as it becomes available.
