Yu Hanchao, the Chinese football player who was injured in the recent game against Jiangsu Suning, has been ruled out for two weeks with a knee ligament injury.
The 26-year-old defender sustained the injury during the match and was replaced by Ye Shiwen in the second half. He will be out of action until the end of January, which is when he will undergo surgery to repair his knee ligament.
This news comes as a blow for Shanghai Shenhua, who were already struggling before the injury. The club had been performing well in the league but have since lost their momentum.
Shanghai Shenhua's manager, Lu Chao, said that the team would do everything they could to ensure that Yu Hanchao makes a full recovery and returns to play as soon as possible.
However, it remains to be seen how long Yu Hanchao will miss from the team. The club will likely need to find a replacement for him in the meantime, either internally or through loan deals.
Overall, this injury is sure to have a significant impact on Shanghai Shenhua's season, and the team will need to work hard to bounce back after such a setback.
