If the fracture is: not healed and you re-injure, recovery will be delayed and you risk permanent damage to the origninal fracture i=or injury elsewhere by guarding the original fracture placing added stress on other joints. My advice is to sit this one out. There will be other games.

Soccer?: Because of the area of your body that is injured, your chances of re-injuring the area playing soccer is way to high. Your recovery would be delayed, and you would miss the rest of the season

Do not play: if it is not completely healed you may further injue it and delay recovery or months. Do not play till cleared by orthopedic doctor.
