I will say 10 weeks minimum to get the strength to depress clutch.
I broke my ankle, wore a boot for 6 weeks.
Months of physio.
I had to have the pins removed because of pain, so a second operation was required.
You will have to be super careful now because the ankle will never be as strong as it was.
We blokes try to rush things. Take it easy and let the healing complete itself.

@1234cardiff You got to take your age into account.
It might take longer, especially if you try and rush it.
Go slow and steady.
