That's extremely optimistic mate. I know I was never a pro, but when I broke mine playing 30 years ago I was out for 4 months. The difficulty wasn't running but kicking a ball. Very tender for a long time. Each break is different I suppose, but biology is biology and it has to heal. I'll be amazed if he's back before the middle of April
It really does depend on the nature of the break and the devil is in the detail I guess, but Rooney was back in 6 weeks when he did his before whichever world cup it was. And with that hyberbaric oxygen therapy thingy, and his age, I would hope 6 weeks might be possible.
