As Herouth noted on Twitter, Takayasu will be kyujo from the upcoming Aki Jungyo. Hopefully this was a reassessment of his injury and not a training setback.
Takayasu will be absent from the Aki Jungyo. He participated in the Meiji Grand Shrine Tournament and said he wanted to be in the Jungyo, but something must have changed.https://t.co/Tn1hG5Aw5j

To update our earlier report about Takakeisho’s kyujo, Herouth also tweeted news that the re-Ozeki will participate in the latter half of Jungyo, starting with the Hamamatsu event on October 16.
Takakeisho intends to join the Jungyo in time for the Hamamatsu event on Oct. 16th. "Showing one's face to the public is also a part of a rikishi's job".https://t.co/LOTbwv27l4

That bruising photo. Oh No. Deja vu.
God, that is one gruesome looking injury. I have seen other pix of Takakeisho’s injured chest/shoulder area…and GEEZ!
Takayasu passes the insanity ball to Takakeisho.
I put participate in quotes because there’s a gradient. Hopefully it will be limited to photo ops, stretching, light practice.
Yikes! No Takakeisho, withdraw and heal, man.
Takakeisho, no. Withdraw, rest and heal.
