Fractures usually take about 6 weeks to heal if everything goes normally. So, after about 6 weeks you may be able to start working out again, gradually, and then progress to increased activities over the next several weeks. By November you may be able to be doing some things, but you might not be 100% back to normal.

Of course, you will have to talk to your doctor to get your exact timeline, but what I list above is an example.

I would think that if you had a straight forward fibula fracture and it heals normally that you should be able to return to soccer. It may take some rehabilitation but you should be alright, as long as there wasn't anything out of the ordinary with your injury.
