‘Halfway there’: Cheslin Kolbe shares his latest update on recovering from a broken jaw
Cheslin Kolbe opens up about his difficult recovery after breaking his jaw.
Cheslin Kolbe, a Springbok rugby star, has shared an update on his recovery from a broken jaw sustained during the team's match against New Zealand. The injury occurred during the third Test, forcing Kolbe to be substituted off the field and miss the final Test. His Instagram post revealed that while he is halfway through his recovery, he is still some distance away from being able to enjoy a proper steak.
The injury, which happened in the ninth minute of the match, required Kolbe to undergo a medical fixation involving arch bars, wires, or elastic bands to hold his jaws in position, making eating a challenging experience. Despite the setback, Kolbe has remained positive, joking about the restrictions on his diet and the support he has received from fans.
He expressed gratitude for his fans' well wishes and continued to work towards returning to full fitness, one day at a time.
