In the chronological node of September 28, the Shanghai media disclosed the latest news about soccer superstar Wu Lei in Shanghai: he has recently suffered from thigh muscle discomfort, a condition that undoubtedly poses an impact on his performance on the field.
This Thursday evening at 5:30pm, Shanghai Harbour will have a crucial bye match against Chengdu Rongcheng, who has just been promoted to the Chinese Super League. Although Chengdu Rongcheng was still playing in the Central League last year, their level of competition is not to be underestimated. They started the season with 7 wins, 7 draws and 3 losses, and have only three points less than Shanghai Seaport, who lost one more game than their opponent.
At present, Shanghai Seaport's team injury problem is still serious. Zhang Linpeng is still recovering from surgery, Feng Jin's knee has not yet fully recovered, while midfield defender Yang Shiyuan has been placed on the injured list after sustaining an ankle injury during a scramble that resulted in a fracture of a small bone.
Recently returned to the team, although Wu Lei is not in good physical condition, thigh muscle discomfort, so in the last two games, the head coach Lecco did not arrange him to start, not to mention the full game. In particular, in the last round of matches against Guangzhou City, Wu Lei replaced Vargas in the 74th minute, and his playing time lasted only 15 minutes, which was also for his protection. Given that that 2-0 win against Guangzhou City came just three days later, I'm afraid this match against Chengdu Rongcheng is still an open question as to whether or not Wu Lei will make his first start since returning to the team.
