Villanova Yarou Injury: Bruised Shoulder Leaves Him Day-To-Day

The initial fear was that Yarou had a broken collarbone that would keep him out for the rest of the season, but initial tests appear to be more promising. Bruised ribs, facial lacerations, and a bruised right shoulder are certainly nothing to celebrate, but it’s all better than a season-ending broken collarbone.

Yarou is a key interior defender and rebounder for the slumping ‘Cats, and if they’re going to have any shot at a turnaround come tourney time, they’ll need Yarou healthy. And while he’ll be re-evaluated on Friday, right now, it looks like Villanova will get just that.
