Following an injury to his right arm in his day 7 bout with Ryuden, Kaisei has decided to at least temporarily withdraw from the Natsu basho. From replay footage, it looked as if Kaisei hyper-extended the arm as he and Ryuden fell to the dohyo at the end of their day 7 match.
Heal up Kaisei – best not to take chances.
Sad news. He’s probably locked up a top-division slot for Nagoya with 3 wins, but it could be a close call.
Takakeisho, please take note…
Tear in the bicep tendon. Three weeks kyujo.
Three weeks kyujo seems to have turned into days this basho…
