China striker Li Jinyu likley to miss rest of season (Xinhua) Updated: 2005-09-13 16:47
China international striker Li Jinyu is likely to miss the rest of the
season, his club Shandong Luneng said on Tuesday.
The 28-year-old Li broke a toe in his left foot during a Chinese Super League
match against Dalian Shide on August 31.
"What makes the problem more tricky is that he cannot receive operation
treatment, so it will take a longer period to recover," said a club official.
Li was out of action for eight months last year due to a knee ligament
injury.
Li's absence will be a serious blow for Shandong when it hosts defending
champion Al Ittihad Wednesday night in the first leg of the Asian Football
Champions League quarterfinals. The return fixture will take place a week later
in Jeddah.
Last year's China FA Cup winner, Shandong now is in fifth placein the 14-team
Chinese Super League, 16 points adrift from leader Dalian Shide.
