How is injured ex-Juryo Kiryuukou
<https://sumodb.sumogames.de/Rikishi.aspx?r=12711> doing? Former Juryo and
current Makushita 46 and destined for Sandanme Kiryuukou (son of ex-
Tokitsukaze Oyakata the parking permit offender
<http://www.sumoforum.net/forums/topic/44626-ex-tokitsukaze-oyakata-arrested/?do=findComment&comment=532827>)
underwent a medical checkup at the Kokugikan yesterday. While still in
Juryo, Kiryuukou underwent surgery for a serious injury during Haru basho,
a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. He has been on an
extended break since then. Regarding the current condition of his right
knee, he said, "There are good and bad days. When I'm feeling good, I can
walk normally, but on bad days, I sometimes drag my foot a little when I
walk." He has already been donning a mawashi and going down to the keiko ba
since around June, saying, "I've only been doing basic exercises like shiko
and suriashi. There's no point in rushing and I want to get better." His
return could be as early as the Kyushu basho in November or the Hatsu basho
in January next year. He said he's been watching live broadcasts of
sumo during his absence, saying, "When I see everyone wrestling in
honbasho, it makes me want to get back as soon as possible."
