eye floaters after blunt trauma

i'm 26 years old, i've never had floaters before.
but few days ago a soccer ball hit me straight in my right eye...I had my eye checked..and everything was okay except for these floaters that I keep seeing.
I just wanted to know if these floaters are going to disappear or not? and if they disappear how long do they take to fade away?

Dear Moaad,

It might take some time for these floaters to settle. You should continue to be examined after the injury to make sure that you do not have any retinal tears or issues which might require treatment.
