Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
It is hard to say without seeing him or making some tests,at least xrays. you ll see soon will there be pain and swelling annd if it is even after 10 days than you should do ultarsound or MRI to rule out ligament injury.most tendonds and muscles injuries recover spontaneously,just apply ice comresses ,elevate leg,rest and take standard painkillers.
Wish you good health. Regards.
