Soccer: Many professional athletes sustain similar injuries and are able to return to playing. However each person is unique and results depend in the amount of injury and other factors. It would be best to discuss this with your surgeon. I am sure you and your surgeon's goal is to return you to play at the same level.

Yes: It would depend on the condition of your joint surface , age , and your strength and agility recovery.
