Tanga Loa to miss rest of 2022 with MCL injury

[Chris]

Guerrillas of Destiny member Tanga Loa is going to be out for the rest of the year.

The 39-year-old hasn't wrestled since NJPW Capital Collision on May 14. NJPW announced on June 1 that Loa had been pulled from the Best of the Super Jr. Finals card after suffering a knee injury.

Tama Tonga provided an update on his brother during an episode of Tama's Island released on Sunday.

"He's been injured, tore his MCL and just had surgery a couple of months ago. So, he'll be out for the rest of the year but he's making progress. He isn't able to run yet but he's able to walk and do some stuff but just the running part is the hardest part right now. He's doing well, he's moving forward. Looking forward to having him come back," Tonga said.

The news means Loa is likely to miss NJPW's World Tag League. The tournament kicks off on November 21. The Guerillas of Destiny won the 2020 World Tag League after defeating Juice Robinson & David Finlay in the finals.

Sucks for Loa and GOD but it helps Tama Tonga further have a run as a Singles Star within New Japan onward.
