How long does it take to recover after spraining your knee?

My 18 year old son sprained his knee during a soccer game. I want to know how long does it take to recover after spraining your knee?

Without any significant ligament tear, about 5 weeks.
Normally 4-12 weeks.
Has imaging been performed? The recovery time depends on the severity of the sprain. Mild sprains a couple days to weeks. Moderate sprains a few weeks to months. Severe sprains can take a long time and possibly need medical treatments. Regenerative injections can speed up the healing process. Read about them at :
