Make sure you are giving your body what it needs when recovering from an injury!
Continue maintaining the recommended amount of protein of 1.6-2.2g per kg of body weight each day to ensure limited muscle loss during your period of being out of action.
Ensure calorie intake is increased to allow for it to aid in reparing the damaged tissue naturally. You shouldn't be running in a calorie deficit whilst recovering from injury as this could slow down the healing process.
Utilise vitamins and minerals such as fish oil, vitamin D, and calcium, as well as supplements such as collagen, and creatine to ensure you are keeping inflammation levels low and are giving your body everything it needs to repair as quickly as possible.
