He developed arthritis after the operation but claims \u00a0he was not warned that pain and stiffness were a risk of the surgery. He claims \u00a0he was forced to quit as a result of the ongoing pain and stiffness in his left ankle and not because of the fracture.<\/p>\n<p>He alleges that had he been informed of the \u201csignificant risk\u201d of long-term pain and stiffness, he would not have consented to the surgery.<\/p>\n<p>Ebanks-Blake claims the surgery caused the loss of a lucrative Premier League career aged 27.
