Pic: Rory McIlroy posts Instagram pics of his gruesome ankle injury

This looks painful

Let’s hope it wasn’t as bad as it looks.

From the road to recovery Rory McIlroy posted these snaps of his bruised ankle taken three and four weeks ago.

Reportedly healing faster than expected, the world’s No. 1 golfer posted the Instagram photos to show people how far he had come in his recovery.

Looking pretty painful, the pictures show McIlroy’s ankle covered in a mesh of purple bruises and looking swollen.

The golfer, who had to miss out on the 2015 Open Championship recently, has been working hard on his recovery, posting a video to Instagram of him training hard on his ankle saying, “working hard every day to come back stronger #dontmindthegrind.”

Fair play to him, that’s the spirit.

He’ll be back in action in no time with this sort of training, and is it just us or does it actually look like a bit of fun too?
