Dear patient
You have sprained your hamstring muscles and it needs rest for at least 3 weeks for complete recovery. If you will start playing before this time sprain will worsen and recovery will be delayed and pain may become chronic. So take rest and avoid soccer for 2 weeks duration and then start gradually increasing activity. Meanwhile take tab diclofenac plus serratiopeptodase combination twice a day for 5 days and apply ice packs frequently to reduce inflammation. All the best.
