We got him an orthopedist appointment two weeks from now. He is normally a midfielder, but thinks he should ask for something with less running in the interim. He can run some, but 70 minute games are feeling tough on his ankle right now. He used to play left back, which seemed like a bit less running I suggested that. What do people think? Any other suggestions? Before anyone says it, I know there is no soccer position with no running, just looking for less.

Your GK is usually the best athlete on the team I wouldn't take on that pressure while returning from injury. Just train and get back into match fitness.
1.) "GK is usually the best athlete on the team" is a blanket statement that does no good to the folks of younger kids trying to learn soccer. Often not the case at younger ages and there is no jumping into GK at the older ages. 2.) Your kid needs to be cleared by a doctor or show no resistance in movement before he takes the field. Too many years of sports and life ahead to make a small issue a bigger one.
