His leg wasn't amputated, its a sprained ankle.

He has 3 weeks to heal.

High Ankle Sprain
A high ankle sprain involves stretching or tearing of the large ligament (sydesmotic ligament) that joins together the two bones of the lower leg (fibula and tibia). High ankle sprains do not heal as quickly as low sprains and are generally managed by applying an air cast for about 6 weeks.
