Today, March 19, news from our country spread across the globe: Swiss powerhouse Grasshoppers released heavy news, stating that player Li Lei will be out of action for up to four weeks due to injury, an injury that also prevents him from taking part in two key battles in the upcoming National Football League's Round of 12 tournament.
Grasshoppers revealed in an official statement that Li Lei unfortunately tore his right adductor muscle during Wednesday's training session and is expected to be out of action for four weeks after an MRI confirmed his injury. He also misses the upcoming World Cup qualifiers in March. Grasshoppers have expressed their deepest wishes to Li Lei, wishing him a speedy recovery and a return to action.
In the latest training list released by the national soccer team, Spanish player Wu Lei was not selected, which made Li Lei the only player who stayed in the ocean. However, the injury left the national soccer team to rely on domestic league players in the last two rounds of matches.
After his injury, Li Lei shared a poster of the movie Shawshank Redemption on his personal social media platforms with the message to motivate himself, "Those moments that cause you pain will eventually make you laugh about them."
Since joining Grasshoppers, Li Lei has become the team's main rotation player, often coming on as a substitute in matches. It is worth mentioning that in the 24th round of the Swiss Super League match against Lugano, Li Lei made his first start and played the whole match, but Grasshoppers were defeated 1-2. (Source: DD)
