怪我について
2007年08月09日

火曜日に練習試合をしたんですが、その試合で右ひざの内側を伸ばしてしまいました。
今のところですが、復帰までは３～４週間ぐらいです。
これはあくまで予想なので実際はどれくらいになるのかは分かりません。
復帰が早まるかもしれないし、遅れることもあります。
まだ幹部に痛みがあるので、とりあえず痛みがなくなるまでは復帰の時期も見えてこないと思います。
簡単ですが、今の状況をお知らせしました。

About my injury
09 Aug 2007

I attended the test game on Tuesday and I got MCL(Medial Collateral Ligament) injury with my right knee during the game.
So far, I've heard (from a doctor) that I might be able to play again in three or four weeks.
However it is only "a prediction", so I'm not sure how much longer it will take.
It will be possible for me to be able to play again earlier, or I might demand more time for my comeback. It depends.
I still have a pain with my right knee, so I think it is premature to estimate for my comeback.
Here I let you know my current situation briefly.
