Kota Ibushi was recently hospitalized after he suffered an ankle injury in his match with Naomichi Marufuji at NOAH ‘The New Year.’
Ibushi has taken to Twitter to announce that he will undergo ankle surgery. He said,
“Sorry for the late contact. I’m sure Mr. NOAH will give you more details, but I would like to inform you that the inside of my left ankle was quite a mess, so I decided to have surgery on the right ligament. I think there will be a release soon. I’m really, really sorry.”
連絡が遅くなりすみません。詳しくはNOAHさんから報告があると思いますが、左足首の中は結構ぐちゃぐちゃに混ざっちゃっていまして、今回は右の靭帯を手術することになったことをお伝えします。近々リリースがあると思いますので。
本当に本当に申し訳ありません。
