Akinomaki 40,037 Posted September 11, 2020 (edited) On 11/09/2020 at 13:34, Yubinhaad said: Ishiura has suffered an ankle injury about 2 weeks ago, diagnosed with 4 weeks of treatment necessary. Miyagino-oyakata tells the same about Ishiura as about Hakuho: he can't even do the sumo crouch (sonkyo): "He's exercising the upper body, but is in no condition to do keiko. The ankle is so bad that he can't do sonkyo and can't bend it." http://www3.nhk.or.jp/news/html/20200911/k10012613771000.html Edited September 13, 2020 by Akinomaki 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Akinomaki 40,037 Posted September 13, 2020 The medical certificates for the 3 injured sekitori - the other 3 were forced to go kyujo and don't need one Hakuho: about 3 weeks rehabilitation treatment necessary as of the 9th, for MPFL damage of the right knee and in the joint a giant (non-malignant) cell tumor, TGCT Kakuryu: about 2 weeks of resting treatment necessary as of the 10th, with suspected lumbar disc disease Ishiura: about 3 weeks treatment necessary as of the 10th, for a right anklebone fracture, sustained on day 14 of last basho http://www.sponichi.co.jp/sports/news/2020/09/13/kiji/20200913s00005000267000c.htmlhttp://www.sponichi.co.jp/sports/news/2020/09/13/kiji/20200913s00005000267000c.html 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yubinhaad 11,592 Posted September 14, 2020 (edited) One rikishi withdraws ahead of Day 3: Sd75w Kaonishiki And one gyoji enters which should make someone happy: On 12/09/2020 at 13:21, Yubinhaad said: Sanyaku gyoji Kimura Konosuke is kyujo from this basho due to poor health. Should have been "potential poor health" - Konosuke's wife was alerted by a contact tracing app about possible contact with someone infected with COVID, so he was kyujo as a precaution. Both have been tested and are negative, so Konosuke will join the basho from Day 3. Edited September 14, 2020 by Yubinhaad 6 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
