Injury Report: New Japan Young Lion Down

New Japan has just announced some injury changes for the rest of the World Tag League-Masatora Yasuda (who I have unknowingly been incorrectly callinh Yasutora Yasuda in results posts), one of the current new Young Lions, is now out of action. Undisclosed injury suffered in training before today’s event. Out indefinitely but at least the rest of the current tour, meaning a minimum of 1-2 weeks. He was to have competed in a few more pre-show matches the rest of the tour with the next one scheduled for Sunday. That match as well as the 12/4 pre-show match are now cancelled. On Monday (12/2) he was to have faced Shoma Kato. Daiki Nagai is the replacement. On 12/6 he was to have teamed with Kato to face Nagai & Katsuya Murashima. That match will now be Kato-Murashima.

There’s no word on exactly how long he will be out.

More as it becomes available.
