[QUOTE="Swami, post: 141696, member: 13"] Ozeki Goeido withdraws from Kyushu tourney due to arm injury Details Written by Kyodo Category: [URL='http://www.cibersumo.com/en/sumo/history-and-data/press-room-news'][U]News[/U][/URL] Published: 22 November 2018 Hits: 18 [IMG]http://www.cibersumo.com/images/rikishis/Goeido5.jpg[/IMG] The 32-year-old wrestler from Sakaigawa stable posted his eighth win a day earlier on the 11th day of the 15-day meet at Fukuoka Kokusai Center, but had struggled for form after sustaining the injury in his seventh-day bout against rank-and-filer Shodai. "He was fighting with pain after the seventh day, but we can no longer allow him to bring shame to the name ozeki with an unsightly performance," stablemaster Sakaigawa said. "It's extremely disappointing. I sincerely apologize to the sumo association and to the fans." All three yokozuna are absent from the Kyushu meet. Mongolian grand champions Hakuho and Kakuryu pulled out before the first day, and Japan-born Kisenosato withdrew on the fifth day. Goeido is the fifth wrestler in the top makuuchi division to be listed among the injury withdrawals, including komusubi Kaisei who returned to action on the third day. Goeido's withdrawal leaves two ozeki left in the tournament, Tochinoshin and Takayasu. According to Sakaigawa, he and Goeido decided to withdraw Thursday morning after the wrestler had trouble lifting his right hand Wednesday evening and was forced to use his left hand to eat. Goeido was diagnosed with a tear to his right pectoral muscle where it attaches to his upper arm and is expected to need six weeks of rest in order to recover. This is the eighth time Goeido has had to withdraw from a tournament, and Sakaigawa said the wrestler will likely to skip the winter regional tour which starts Dec. 2. Swami [/QUOTE]
