[sumo] [spoiler] Yrujni Asa!

[Moti]

Asashouryuu has a right ankle joint inflammation and his recovery time
has been set at 4 weeks. It has now become known that he sprained the
ankle in training in Mongolia at the beginning of November. His
participation in the winter jungyo has aggravated the injury to an
extent that he now needs 4 weeks of rest. He had an X-ray and a CT scan
today at a Roppongi clinic and those were the results. After the first
day of jungyo the ankle swelled and he decided to take it easy from
there. At that time he was given painkillers and other medication for
two weeks. "He needs to rest, but if he refrains from doing things that
would put stress on his ankle like shiko and butsugari, and if he tapes
it tightly, he will probably be able to do keiko", said his doctor Dr.
Hiraishi the Ishi. OTOH, his left elbow is completely OK now, as is his
lower back. Takasago Oyakata has said Asa will start training on the
9th. "He has to train for Hatsu so I guess he won't be resting much..",
acknowledged the doctor.
There is talk emanating from the heya that
suggests Asa is planning to return to Mongolia before the end of the
year on business, and the same voices are saying they are not convinced
he will be able to participate in Hatsu.
