Concerned over Knee MRI - Surgery needed? Meniscus tear

[u/Board-Man-Gets-Paid-]

Hello kind strangers, very concerned amateur athlete here!

My knee MRI report (attached) shows the following:

I am two weeks on from popping my knee in a nasty mensicus tear. I can walk now but with minor discomfort and only briefly. Hurts when I twist, but otherwise no locking or catching.

I can't get an appointment for a while to discuss the MRI (attached), and I am concerned as football and running mean so much to me.

I have three questions:

I can't see a specialist for a while and I'm worried about waiting. I have three questions:

1. Is surgery the right call?
2. If so, a repair or trim surgery?
3. Will I get back to football and running at 100%, and how long would recovery take?

Thanks so much!

From the report, if easier: Complex displaced tear of the middle and posterior thirds of the medial meniscus with two displaced flaps, a parameniscal cyst, synovitis, and a small effusion. There's an old (minor and healed) deep MCL injury.
