On June 24, the Morning Post spotlighted the latest developments of Shanghai Seaports' foreign aiders Oscar and Mooy, whose paths back to the Chinese Super League appear to be in limbo.
It is reported that Oscar is about to complete the "14 + 7" home health monitoring, facing the choice of returning to Dalian to join the team. Rumor has it that he may first go to Hainan to adjust, and then transfer to Dalian.
According to Hainan's latest epidemic prevention policy, those arriving from Shanghai such as Oscar, who are not from the Jing'an, Baoshan and Putuo districts, are only required to land a nucleic acid test and seven days of self-health monitoring, which provides him with the opportunity to train locally and hopefully return in top form.
However, there are still many twists and turns in Oscar's return. Today is not only the end of his quarantine, but also the day when the medium-risk zone in Pudong New Area was downgraded to low-risk. If there are no medium or high risk areas in Pudong, it is doubtful that Oscar's direct trip to Dalian will be in line with the latest local immunization policy.
Oscar might not have needed to take a detour through Hainan if Dalian had only imposed a four-day home quarantine on people from infected cities. But his return is still subject to changes in local epidemic prevention policies.
Furthermore, after playing with Australia in the World Cup play-offs, Muay's wife revealed on social media that Muay had returned home to Scotland, England. Given that he will also be representing Australia at the World Cup in Qatar, the likelihood of Muay playing for Harbour this year has become unknown.
