Hopes to be ready to compete at Aki.

Once again, Tachiai thanks reader Herouth for tipping us off to some sumo news that is not about Kisenosato. In fact, it’s a very interesting post about Endo, and the ankle injury sustained at Nagoya in his day 1 loss to Ura.

According to reports published in the Japanese sumo press (Nikkan sports cited here), Endo underwent surgery to repair his left angle in late July, and is now recovering. It is hoped that he will able to enter the Aki basho starting in 3 weeks time.
