Right Thigh Injury To Take 1 Month To Heal

Word from the Japanese press (forgive me somewhat limited Kanji fluency) is that Harumafuji may be out of the Hatus basho due to an injury to his right thigh sustained during his day 5 bout with Okinoumi.

If so, this has significant implications for the yusho race, and for Harumafuji’s career overall.
