Shanghai Shenhua, the Chinese Super League club, has announced that midfielder Kim Shin-wook is expected to make a return from injury in time for their upcoming match against Tianjin Teda.
The 29-year-old Korean international has been out since suffering a knee injury during a pre-season friendly last month. However, he is now set to be fit enough to play in the game and could feature as a substitute or start if his fitness allows it.
Shenhua's head coach, Jorge Jesus, praised Kim's determination to overcome his injury setback and insisted that he will be fully committed to the team's success this season.
Kim Shin-wook has made over 150 appearances for Shanghai Shenhua and is widely regarded as one of the best midfielders in China. His return to the squad is a welcome boost for the club and fans alike.
However, with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic still causing disruptions to football leagues worldwide, there is no guarantee that the match between Shanghai Shenhua and Tianjin Teda will go ahead as planned. The safety of players and fans remains the top priority, and any decision regarding the match will be made by relevant authorities.
