Luton Town midfielder Jordan Clark admits he thought his season was over after a preseason ankle injury.
Clark made his Premier League debut last week at Manchester United.
He recalled, I tried to play a pass and got my foot trapped in the grass and went over on it.
"I was lucky I didn't break anything or dislocate anything, just snapped one of my ligaments, which was not ideal but could have been worse.
"I've got some nice metal in me now, so hopefully I don't go off when going through the airport.
"It was a killer though, I was very emotional in the first week, especially being sat on my settee not being able to do anything.
"My girlfriend was having to run around for me as I couldn't do anything.
"I had to keep my leg up for 22 hours of the day, so that was a bit of a nightmare.
"At first I thought it was a six month injury, so I broke down in tears as you never know when you come back you might get little niggles and stuff.
I didn't know if I would play a part this season, but then when they said three months, you can keep cracking on with little things."
