On November 5 in Tianjin, Tianjin Tigers striker Xie Weijun faced a difficult decision. His nasal bone suffered a crushing fracture, while the national team is about to gather in Shenzhen on November 9 to prepare for the Asian qualifiers. At such a critical moment, Xie Weijun chose to suspend the reset surgery and devote himself to the preparation of the national team.
Reporter Gu Ying revealed on Weibo that Xie Weijun has returned to Tianjin today and immediately went to the hospital for further examination. Meanwhile, the list of the national soccer team will be announced soon, and the Jinmen Tiger Club and Xie Weijun himself have communicated with the national team about his injury.
Gu Ying added that Xie Weijun has decided to postpone his repositioning surgery for a possible call-up to the national team, and has undergone 3D imaging of his protective mask for this purpose. Once he returns to the national team, as a "masked brother", Xie will certainly play a key role in the team.
This season, Xie Weijun has played 29 games for the Jinmen Tigers, making 10 starts and contributing 7 goals and 1 assist, showing excellent individual ability.
