During an intense training session with Shandong Taishan, 34-year-old veteran Zhang Qi accidentally collided with teammate Duan Liuyu, causing a serious injury to his left leg, once rumored to be a calf fracture. Reporters confirmed the news, but the exact injury has not yet been clearly concluded. Meanwhile, player Guo Tianyu has returned to the team.
The accident occurred during the evening training match, where Zhang Qi started as a member of the blue team, but was unfortunately injured after a fierce scramble with his teammates. During the night, several photos and videos of the injury scene quickly circulated on the Internet, some of which even claimed that Zhang Qi's left calf bone was completely broken.
Since joining the Shandong Taishan team in 2007, Zhang Qi has experienced the first round of the 2011 Chinese Super League (CSL), in which Shandong Luneng, as the defending champion, hosted Chengdu Sheffield United, in which a fierce scramble with rival Li Gang led to his unfortunate broken leg. Another injury this time around will undoubtedly be a major blow for the seasoned veteran.
According to a local reporter in Shandong, Zhang Qi's specific injuries have not yet had a final diagnosis, we are anxiously awaiting further detailed information. Here, we sincerely hope that Zhang Qi can be free of major injuries, all the best.
