At 15:00 on the 27th, a tense Chinese Super League match was about to begin between Beijing Guoan and Shanghai Port. However, just as the drums of war were about to beat, an anxious message came from the Guoan team. The team has been suffering from a rising number of infections, and despite the emergency call-up of U21 league players, the number of players who are healthy enough to play is still limited, so it's not clear whether they will be able to build a full starting lineup, and it's doubtful that the afternoon match will go smoothly.
It was revealed that only seven players in the Guoan team currently assembled in Rizhao to prepare for this round of the tournament remain completely healthy, with negative test results, including three goalkeepers. Although the physical condition of some of the players has improved significantly, but their state of mind whether they can adapt to the game, is still not conclusive. The club is anxiously awaiting a response from the relevant authorities for guidance. Under the current personnel arrangement, whether the afternoon match can be staged as planned is still up in the air.
