You need R.I.C.E.

That's physiotherapy talk for rest, ice, compression and elevation. Basic stuff for all sports injuries.

An ealsticated bandage that extends above and below the injury is best. Ultrasound is also very good for soft tissue injuries(pull, tare, strain etc). This is available at most sport injury clinics or you should be able to get free physiotherapy appointments through your doctor. Only problem is you have to wait around 2 months in the uk to get an appointment from your gp so your best paying the money at a clinic to get it done straight away. This worked very well for me as i was told I would be out for around 8 weeks with torn muscle fibers in my thigh, but i was back three weeks earlier than expected so its definetly worth the extra money as theres nothing worse than going 1 day without football never mind 8 weeks. So hope all goes well with your injury and tryouts.
