Sumo wrestler Yokozuna Terunofuji will be closed for the first day on the 13th at the Kyushu tournament.
Terunofuji will be closed for the 14th time in a row in two places, and the Kyushu place will be without Yokozuna from the first day.
Terunofuji was suspended from the 10th day due to injuries to both knees at the autumn place in September, and underwent surgery in the middle of last month.
On the 11th, the Japan Sumo Association announced that the first day and the second day of the Kyushu tournament will not include Terunofuji, and will be closed from the first day.
Terunofuji will be closed for the 14th time in a row in two places, and it will be the first time since he was promoted to yokozuna after last year's Nagoya tournament.
The Kyushu tournament will be without Yokozuna from the first day.
Terunofuji is currently undergoing rehabilitation, and has resumed training with the mawashi on this month.
When he was interviewed by the press on the 7th of this month, he indicated the possibility of a break, saying, "It's impossible because of this situation."
