Official certificate submitted for Ura: right knee ACL injury, left knee meniscus injury, 3 months estimated recovery for surgery and rehab. The press coverage is putting his participation in January in serious doubt, not that that's much of a surprise.

And for completeness,  Kakuryu's diagnosis:

3 months for total recovery from ACL injury and surgery...  I want what they're smoking.

Juryo - 1 absent
Makushita - 3 absent

Jonidan - 17 absent
Jonokuchi - 7 absent

Has there been any further update on Takanoiwa? Hoping he can come back after a couple days absence to put up 5-7 wins and protect is Makuuchi status.

What about Enho?

Not scheduled for day 1, so if he's absent, it will be on day 2 and announced tomorrow. Not officially withdrawn for the whole basho.

The absence list doesn't work that way. The list posted by Fukurou above includes everybody who hasn't been scheduled for either Day 1 or Day 2. Enho faces Jokoryu.

Edit: Or did you mean absent by fusenpai? I suppose that could still happen, but then he's going to be listed as a Day 3 withdrawal.

I meant he hasn't withdrawn from the basho and it would be announced tomorrow if he chooses to not appear on day 2 - but you're right, it would likely be shown only by his possible non-appearance on day 2, without announcement - or rather just on the day, and then withdrawal.

Edit: I haven't seen any details yet about when exactly the lower rankers or their oyakata usually tell the officials that there will be a fusenpai. In the extreme, it might be that not coming in to sit at the dohyo 2 bouts in advance tells them.

Edit 2: I have the impression that they basically are forced to not tell at all in advance - there is no actual need for most fusensho, because the next opponent usually isn't scheduled when the rikishi already is essentially out of contention.

What's wrong with Enhou? Is he injured?

There was news going around during jungyo last month saying that he twisted his right ankle during practice and that he heard a "buchibuchi" sound when it happened.  I'm not really up on Japanese onomatopoeia, but a ripping sound?

Huh. Cheers for the intel. If there's no tendon/ligament damage I suspect that this injury will be treated with all the gravity and seriousness you'd expect for a mosquito bite.

Day 3

Sd60e MASAKAZE (0-1, absent day 2) and Jd3e KAIHO (0-1, absent day 1) are withdrawing. No Enho on the list, but he doesn't have a day 3 match either.

Takanoiwa was hospitalised on October 26th with a long list of problems - Concussion (脳震盪); laceration on the front left of the head (左前頭部裂傷); external inflammation of the right ear (右外耳道炎); fractured skull (右中頭蓋底骨折); suspected cerebrospinal fluid leak (髄液漏の疑い).

Meanwhile, Chiyootori has a dislocated right shoulder and a left knee anterior cruciate ligament injury.

Oh, and from the lower divisions, Yuma injured his knee in keiko just before the basho.

I agree with  that comment....

The injury list for Takanoiwa sounds like he was bashed on the head.

Takanoiwa was injured at the Tottori jungyo on the 26th. From the 5th to the 9th he was in a hospital in Fukuoka. The medical certificate finishes with "About 2 weeks have to be considered for complete recovery."

Takanohana only tells: "As the certificate says, he's in a bad condition."

Aoiyama was injured in the region of his right ankle in the bout with Okinoumi, where was yoritaoshi-d. He left at first leaning on the shoulder of a yobidashi, in the hanamichi he had to use the wheelchair. He told that "there was a snapping sound."

Watching the replay, I could see the leg above the ankle actually bend; I couldn't watch the second replay :-(

Aye. Surely it means he's out of the basho?

He may decide to stay in even if injured; at M11 he is on the edge of safety from demotion but a few wins will cushion his fall.

Day 3 LATE

According to the NSK site, M11e AOIYAMA (1-1) has withdrawn as of Day 3. Kaisei will get the default win.  Akinomaki detailed his injury in an earlier message.

Poor Aoiyama, that looked like a lot of stress on that ankle and leg. Hope it is not as bad as it sounds. Aoiyama's been a mainstay in the top division for 5+ years culminating in a jun-yusho in Nagoya. Wishing him a speedy recovery.

Will save comments for the disturbing Harumafuji news once the new thread is open.
