Hello,
You could definitely play football ,but after complete recovery.
Tympanoplasty would not cause any problem in foot ball playing.
But for the ear to heal it takes around 3 months .
Till then try to prevent water entering the ear and avoid loud music .
Try to avoid playing for around 3 months , till then the graft placed to cover the perforation of the ear drum would be set .
As playing causes the pressure development in middle part of ear and till the graft settles down this change of pressure could cause displacement of the graft.
In doubt do reply
