In the late afternoon of June 15, a piece of good news spread in Shanghai Shenhua's camp: after more than a month of closed isolation, the team's second foreign aid Bolaños will soon be released from isolation at noon on that day and return to the team's family. If Bolaños can quickly find his best form, it will undoubtedly bring a timely rain for Shenhua's front field firepower.
As a matter of fact, Bolaños was not included in Shenhua's plan for this season, and he even returned to his home country of Ecuador ahead of schedule. However, due to the club's FIFA ban, Shenhua had to temporarily change its preparation strategy and urgently recalled Bolaños, who was still in China during his contract period, to play in the new Chinese Super League season. Trapped by the epidemic in Shanghai, Bolaños had a rough road back to China, first a long quarantine in Guangzhou, then another 7+7 quarantine observation period in Dalian. It was not until the 8th that he was housed in a hotel in the tournament area, but he still needed to be isolated for a week, during which he was not allowed to go out or have any contact with his teammates.
According to the regulations, the quarantine period of Bolaños will be declared over at noon on the 15th, and he will rejoin his teammates to restart his training path. However, given the length of the quarantine, his return to the field will have to wait. According to team sources, it will take at least another 10-15 days before Bolaños can return to the field.
Nonetheless, the return of Bolaños has certainly injected Shenhua with a strong dose of energy. The Ecuadorian star has excellent footwork and comprehensive skills, and his free-kick skills are even more unique. Once his condition rises, will be able to enrich the tactical diversity of the Shenhua team in front of the field. (Sohu Sports Pei Li)
