On the morning of May 3, the Chinese Super League Shanghai Shenhua Club announced through official channels that their captain Wu Xi, who is also the captain of the national football team, suffered a left toe injury in the fourth round of the Chinese Super League "Shanghai Derby" war on April 30th. After the hospital diagnosis, his left foot proximal proximal fracture is expected to require a recovery period of about 8 weeks. This means that Wu Xi will miss the remaining eight rounds of the first phase of the Chinese Super League (fifth to twelfth rounds), as well as the national football team's training and two warm-up matches in June. As Wu Xi is also one of the candidate overage international players for the men's soccer team for the Asian Games, will his injury affect the preparation of the men's soccer team for the Asian Games.
The whole game with injuries by the opponents focus on "care".
On the evening of April 30, when the Shanghai derby between Seaport and Shenhua reached the ninth minute in the fourth round of the Chinese Super League's highlights, Wu Xi was unfortunate enough to be stepped on his left toe by Seaport midfielder Cai Huikang. It is understood that at that time, Wu Xi felt that he was stepped on a numb spot, and then he played the whole match with the injury. In the following game, Wu Xi was also the focus of the opposing defense's "care". The two sides eventually drew 1-1.
One night after the game, Wu Xi's left toe pain aggravated, so the next day in the team doctor accompanied to the hospital for examination. After radiological imaging, the hospital confirmed Wu Xi's left foot fifth proximal phalanx proximal fracture, the wound recovery period is expected to be about 8 weeks.
As of the fourth round of the Chinese Super League, Shenhua is ranked in the top two of the league table with Seaport with an undefeated record of 3 wins and 1 draw. Without the wisdom of head coach Wu Jingui and the outstanding performance of a group of players, the team has made a good start in the new league season. As the captain and the core of the team's midfield, Wu Xi has made great contributions. However, after suffering a serious injury, Wu Xi will unfortunately miss the remaining eight rounds of the first phase of the Chinese Super League.
No national football team new training can participate in the Asian Games is also uncertain.
Wu Xi's injury has also taken its toll on the national team. According to the plan, the national soccer team will regroup in Dalian city on June 10, the day after the 12th round of league matches, and then play two international warm-up matches against visiting Myanmar and Palestine. As things stand, Wu Xi basically has no chance to participate in the team's new training and two warm-up matches. Whether he will be fully recovered and in a position to play before the Chinese Super League resumes on June 28 will require further observation.
Notably, the national soccer team will organize training and participate in international warm-up matches during international match days in June, September and October this year. Among them, the opponents of the two warm-up matches in June have been confirmed as Myanmar and Palestine, two non-powerful teams. So normally, as long as Wu Xi is no longer plagued by any other injuries, he will be able to catch up with the training and warm-up matches in September and October, thus adjusting his competitive status before the start of the Preliminary 36 in November.
However, there may be some doubt as to whether Wu Xi will be able to represent the men's soccer team at the Hangzhou Asian Games. According to the AFC tournament history, the Hangzhou Asian Games soccer tournament will be held from September 23rd to October 8th. Prior to that, the men's soccer team Asian Games will use two international dates in June and September to organize training and play warm-up matches.
In other words, the Men's Asian Games team has very limited time to prepare for the sprint and hone their lineup before the tournament. This June, the Men's Asian Games will play two warm-up matches against the visiting South Korean Men's Asian Games during the International Match Day. Considering that the Preliminary 36 does not begin until November, the CFA is temporarily favoring the Men's Asian Games, and the 1999-age Asian Games-age international players, including Zhu Chenjie and Dai Weijun, will focus on preparing for the tournament in cooperation with the Men's Asian Games instead of participating in the national football training and warm-ups in June and September. In order to quickly gel the starting lineup, the Men's Asian Games will not rule out using the June and September machines.
As one of the first batch of overage international players to prepare for the men's Asian Games team last year, Wu Xi is the core player most needed by the team. However, affected by serious injuries, the team's ability to participate in the September training will need to be carefully evaluated by the coaching staffs of the two national teams and the CFA based on the actual physical condition of the player.
Obviously the negative impact on the Scots is obvious.
It should be noted that the calendar shows that this season's Chinese Super League schedule is strictly close to the FIFA International Day cycle. For example, the second phase of the Super League will end on June 28 (round 13) to August 27 (round 24), when the national team will organize its third training session of the year.After the end of the session on September 12, the third phase of the Super League (rounds 25 to 27) will take place from 15 to 30 September. The national team will then organize another training and warm-up during the international match days from 9 to 17 October. This means that the Hangzhou Asian Games will be suspended and the Chinese Super League will be suspended.
Beiqing Daily reporter learned that on the night of April 30, the men's Asian Games Serbian coach Djurdjevic and national football team leader Shao Jia both appeared in Shanghai SAIC Pudong Stadium, watched the "Shanghai Derby". After all, both teams are the national team or men's football Asian Games big names. Wu Xi's injury also touched the hearts of the two team coaches.
