Shanghai Shenhua has announced that midfielder Kim Shin-wook, who is currently on loan to Chinese club Shanghai SIPG, has sustained a serious injury in a collision with their own squad.
The injury report indicates that Kim Shin-wook was involved in a collision with the Shanghai SIPG squad at a training session, which resulted in him being sent off from the match against Guangzhou R&B SC. The exact nature of the injury remains unclear, but it is understood that it involves a serious ligament tear or dislocation.
Shin-wook's injury comes as a shock for both Shanghai Shenhua and the fans of his former club, Dalian Wanda. The striker has been one of the most prolific scorers for Shanghai Shenhua this season, having scored a total of 14 goals in all competitions so far.
The club has expressed its deep condolences to Shin-wook's family and friends during this difficult time. They have also promised to support him through any necessary medical treatment and will do everything they can to help him recover fully.
In addition to Shin-wook's injury, Shanghai Shenhua has also announced the departure of goalkeeper Lin Jianhong, who had played well in recent games for the club. This means that Lin will now be the only goalkeeper available for the rest of the season.
The announcement comes just days after the club announced the signing of another key player, midfielder Wu Yifan, who will join them from Beijing Guoan FC. Wu is expected to make a big impact in the upcoming season, and the club is looking forward to welcoming him back to the fold.
Overall, the injury to Shin-wook has come as a significant blow to the Shanghai Shenhua squad, but the club remains committed to helping him recover fully and moving forward with the team.
