FRAN BERRY will not be returning from Japan for at least another week after he fractured his ankle he sustained in a freak accident at Tokyo races on November 13.
"I’ve spoken to Fran a few times since the accident and he seems in good spirits," agent Ciaran O’Toole said on Wednesday night.
"I’m not aware of his travel arrangements but it could be a week or two before he comes home. It was just one of those unfortunateincidents when a horse jinked on him going to the start and he twisted his ankle in the stirrups."
O’Toole added: "I’m not sure how long he’ll be out for and it’ll only be when the plaster comes off in due course before they’ll know for certain when he’ll be able to start back riding again."

Thats from last year, wrong

This is the current one
Fran Berry faces at least two months on the sidelines after suffering injuries to a shoulder blade, three ribs and an ankle in a fall at Clonmel on Thursday.
The rider was aboard Caliente in the Mullinahone Maiden when the filly appeared to break down.
In trying to pull her up, he was sent to the turf, bringing down Ronan Whelan's mount, Nia's Caul, in the process.
Berry was initially taken to South Tipperary General Hospital before being transferred to James Connolly Blanchardstown Hospital in Dublin.
"He has a fractured his right scapula (shoulder blade), three fractured ribs and a fractured left ankle," said the Irish Turf Club's chief medical officer, Dr Adrian McGoldrick.
"He will be out for two to three months definitely.
"He is at James Connolly Blanchardstown Hospital in Dublin.
"He was transferred last night under the care of Mr Paddy Kenny, who takes care of a lot of the jockeys."
