Satoshi Kojima pulled from more NJPW dates due to MCL injury

Due to his MCL injury, Satoshi Kojima has been pulled from more NJPW dates.

Kojima will miss NJPW & CMLL's Fantasticamania tour as he recovers from the injury. The tour is taking place in Japan from February 12 through February 19. Kojima was scheduled to compete at six events.

"As he recovers from a left MCL injury, Satoshi Kojima will be absent from dates on the Fantasticamania tour which begins Monday February [12]," NJPW wrote. "We apologize to fans who were looking forward to seeing Kojima wrestle, and appreciate your understanding."

Tomoaki Honma is replacing Kojima on the February 12-17 events. Ryusuke Taguchi will be Kojima's replacement on the February 18 show.

Kojima apologized for having to miss the shows and thanked Honma and Taguchi for taking his place.

Kojima was also pulled from NJPW's February 8 and February 9 Road to the New Beginning shows because of his injury.

On Wednesday, Kojima tweeted that he'll be back in action as soon as possible. He's expected to be back for MLW Intimidation Games in New York City on Thursday, February 29.

Kojima won the MLW World Heavyweight Championship from Alex Kane last weekend. He's defending the title against Minoru Suzuki at Intimidation Games.
