His personal manager and a trainer return to Japan on the 17th.
Till his other manager arrives in Mongolia, no one is there to fulfill the
condition on which he was allowed to return: someone of the heya is there to
watch over him.

The return of Asashoryu will most likely be in November, as he injured his
left ankle. His individual trainer was called from Japan.
An old injury of the left elbow also has not healed completely.
He might stay in Mongolia till the end of the Kyushu basho.

There is also talk that he wants to go to a university sumo club for
degeiko.
Quite unusual for a yokozuna with high school background only.
