Recovering from a minor ankle sprain — when is it safe to return to football?

My son sprained his ankle mildly during a school football match about 10 days ago. Swelling is mostly gone and he's walking normally, but he's eager to get back on the field. What's a reasonable timeline before returning to full training, and are there specific signs we should watch for before clearing him?

We got a physio's opinion before returning to full training — they caught some residual weakness that wasn't obvious just from the swelling going down.
