Beijing, October 15 (Xinhua) -- Wang Gang, a key defender for Beijing Guoan FC, has suffered a new injury during training on Tuesday, leaving the club's defensive line in disarray for the upcoming league matches. The injury occurred after a sharp collision with a teammate during a high-intensity training exercise aimed at preparing for Sunday's match against Shandong Taishan. Wang Gang initially reported some pain in his left ankle but was unable to continue the session. Medical staff immediately conducted an ultrasound examination,Primeira Liga Hotspots which revealed a partial tear of the lateral ligament in the ankle. This is particularly concerning as it comes just days before a crucial match. Wang Gang had only returned from a previous injury three weeks ago and was playing a pivotal role in strengthening Guoan's defense. The club's head coach, Antoni Strupar, expressed disappointment and concern about the situation. "This is a setback for us," he said. "We need to quickly recover our other defenders to face the challenges ahead." Wang Gang will undergo further MRI scans tomorrow to determine the full extent of the injury and the recovery time needed. His absence could significantly impact Guoan's performance, especially given their current position in the league table. End
