Today,  Isegahama Oyakata (former Yokozuna Terunofuji) revealed that
Takerufuji , who withdrew from the previous tournament due to a torn right
biceps tendon, underwent surgery in August to repair the injury. He has yet
to resume sumo training, raising concerns about his participation in the
Aki basho. The 26-year-old Takerufuji was only able to do shiko at the heya
in Sumida Ward, Tokyo, on the 3rd. Isegahama Oyakata offered a cautious
outlook, saying, "He's currently undergoing rehabilitation. I hope he
recovers fully and achieves results that live up to expectations."
Takerufuji has struggled with injuries since winning the Haru basho as a
new Makuuchi division rookie. If he misses the entire Aki basho, he'll
almost certainly be demoted to Juryo the Kyushu basho in November.

Some results from the health check-ups:

Oonosato- 187 kilograms, down by 4.

Houshouryuu- 149, down by 1.

Wakatakakage - 137, up by 1.

Kotoshouhou - 171, up by 4.

Heaviest sekitori: Tsurugishou- 200

Lightest sekitori- Midorifuji 115

Tallest sekitori- Kinbouzan 1.95

Makuuchi average height - 1.84.4

Makuuchi average weight- 158.2 kilos
