Kota Ibushi provides an update on his condition.
Kota Ibushi was set to undergo surgery on January 17, and following surgery, he took to social media to give fans an update.
From Kota:
Sorry for the late report. It looks like the ligament was completely torn (another spot was already little to begin with) and is now completely immobilized in a cast up to about below the knee.
The next step is to see what will happen to the left side, and the right side will go for 2 weeks.
My shoulder is not in perfect condition and I intend to fix everything this time.
I apologize for the inconvenience.
I will think about the rest in various ways.
報告遅れました。完全に靭帯が切れていたみたいで(別のヶ所も元々もう少なかった)膝下くらいまでのギプスで完全固定されております。

次は左をどうするか、右は2週通いになります。
肩も万全ではないので今回で全てを治すつもりです。
ご迷惑おかけしました。
後は色々と考えて行きたいとおもいます。 pic.twitter.com/Dj9qF5xp94
Kota competed against Naomichi Marufuji at NOAH The New Year and suffered an ankle injury in the bout. After the match was over, he could barely stand and was taken to the hospital. Pro Wrestling NOAH announced he was diagnosed with a right tibiofibular ligament tear and a right ankle lateral ligament complex injury.
Fightful will update fans on Ibushi's condition when more is known. We wish him the best in his recovery.
