It is said that caution is needed because there is a risk of infection. It took at least three weeks. Mima Louie doesn't know if he can come back in the first round. It's not a major injury, but it seems that the weight increases when the inside of the ankle hurts. We prepared hard together, and although he is greedy, he seems to be not recovering quickly.
