Sydney Roosters halfback Sam Walker is back running after recovering from ankle surgery, a development reported as a boost to the club’s finals prospects. All three outlets say Walker underwent the procedure on August 30 following an ankle syndesmosis injury.
The injury happened during the NRL’s round 26 when Walker plays against the Dolphins a day earlier than the surgery date. The reports describe his recovery as rapid, framing his return to running as a positive sign for his availability in the lead-up to the finals. The articles do not indicate a final decision on match fitness or a specific return date, focusing instead on the progress since the operation.
Across The Age, the Brisbane Times, and the Sydney Morning Herald, the core details are consistent: the injury type, the round 26 incident against the Dolphins, the surgery date, and the fact that he is now resuming running as part of his rehabilitation.
