The clock struck 3:30 on the afternoon of the 18th, and the Chinese men's national soccer team began a full training session at their hotel in Suzhou after returning home. Head coach Li Tie was at the helm as the team followed strict anti-epidemic measures while preparing for the two upcoming top twelve matches in November.
Currently, all 31 athletes in the team are present, only Zhang Linpeng, who unfortunately strained his left thigh muscle against Saudi Arabia, is alone in the hotel gym for recovery training. Artemisia Junmin, another player who was injured against Vietnam, also stepped into the training ground alone today under the guidance of a recovery instructor, even though he still has discomfort in his left thigh biceps femoris.
