Please don't play: Most likely your ankle is sprained. It needs time to heal. I know you probably like to play soccer a lot, but if you play now while your ankle is still healing there is a very good chance that you will hurt it worse and it will take longer to heal. I would not play soccer for 1-2 weeks. That way you can play later in the summer without a problem.

No: Might have a fracture and or soft tissue damage and activity will make it worse. Try rice method rest, ice, compression and elevation and get checked before activity.
