Update on injured Makushita rikishi
>Regarding Yumenofuji (18, Isegahama stable), ranked West Makushita 35, who was taken away by ambulance after his match on the 10th day, stablemaster Tateyama (former Makuuchi wrestler Homarefuji), who is attached to the Isegahama stable, explained his current condition. He said that when he called Yumenofuji around 5 p.m. on the 10th day, he was diagnosed with a concussion. Stablemaster Tateyama said, "He said he had a headache and was feeling nauseous. According to the doctor, it's unavoidable that he'll have symptoms for about a day. He said he can move around. The doctor asked us to monitor him for about a week, so he will rest."
>Yumenofuji has a record of 1 win and 4 losses after the 10th day. He plans to take a break for the remaining two matches. This tournament is his highest rank ever, and it's his first losing record in nine tournaments. Tateyama Oyakata said, "He's always been on a winning record up the ranks, but he'll take a break and then get back in shape. He's still young, after all."
>On the 10th day, when Yumenofuji was defeated by yoritaoshi (frontal push-down), he fell headfirst off the sumo ring. He was unable to move and was taken to the hospital by ambulance.
