The harbor has injured two more generals! Muscat had a headache

Reporter Cheng Shan reported Defending champions Harbour have not been too happy recently, losing two of their last three league games to title rivals Rongcheng and Guoan, and injuries are also increasing. Harbour is about to challenge Wuhan Three Towns away on the evening of the 5th, just two days before this game, the Harbour Club officially released news, confirming that the two big players in the backline, Yan Junling and Wumi Tijiang, will be injured and will miss the game for a period of time.

When talking about the key reasons for Harbour's Super League title last season, Harbour boss Muscat was most fortunate that the team did not suffer major injuries throughout the league period, and he used the phrase "very lucky" to describe his first league title when he arrived at Harbour.

Only half a year has passed, and Muscat unfortunately encountered the most headache for him - that is, "injury". Prior to this, the core of the team, Wu Lei, needed surgery for an old injury and missed several games, and when Wu Lei was close to returning, the position of the harbor with many injuries was replaced by the backline. Previously, when Jiang Guangtai, Wang Zhenao and other defenders were unable to play due to injury, the outside world looked at the available lineup of the harbor and jokingly said that "the harbor can't even make up a guard line".

Before the last game, the long-injured defender Jiang Guangtai returned to training, but did not play in the game against Guoan. Affected by the lack of personnel, there are many problems in the harbor defense line, and the shortcomings may not be found in the first few rounds against relatively weak teams, but when encountering opponents such as Shenhua, Rongcheng, and Guoan, whether it is a mistake or an accidental lack of tacit cooperation, it is likely to become a fatal disaster.

In the match with Guoan, Harbour's central defensive combination was Wei Zhen and Wumi Tijiang, and the cooperation between the two was a little rusty, but Muscat was very patient to give them a chance, after all, there are not many central defenders available in the team at present. The accident occurred, in the first half of the game, Wumi Tijiang was injured after colliding with the opponent while defending, and in the second half, the pain in the injured area increased, and he could not continue to insist on the game, so he was replaced by Zhang Linpeng. After the examination, after the examination, the right humeral tuberosity avulsion fracture of the right humerus, with bone contusion and fluid in the joint cavity of the right shoulder, the estimated recovery time given by the harbor is currently five weeks.

At the same time, the Harbour Club also announced the injury status of Yan Junling. Yan Junling injured his left ankle when he saved, and the results of the examination so far are as follows: the anterior talofibular ligament of the left ankle is partially torn with joint effusion, and the recovery time is expected to be two to three weeks.

Muscat has been careful lately. In the first two games, he learned that the team's physical recovery after the Yunnan Plateau game would take more time, and he took the physical recovery of the players as his top priority, and adjusted the training plan and training volume, hoping to avoid more injuries. But luck doesn't seem to be good, and the continued attrition of the defence is a major blow for Muscat.

In the new round of the league, Harbour's opponent is Wuhan Three Towns, which is currently ranked 11th in the league and has conceded 20 goals in 10 games, which is the second most goals conceded. In terms of overall strength, there is a certain gap with the Harbour of the First Army, which also beat the opponent home and away last season. However, Wuhan Three Towns has scored 10 points after Deng Zhuoxiang led the team, and the last two rounds have been reversed to defeat the opponent, and the tenacity is very strong.

There is not much time to prepare for the first battle in Wuhan, and Muscat's main training content in recent days is to adjust the physical condition of the players, and he has also communicated with several wounded, sent greetings to the wounded, and communicated with Jiang Guangtai about the return time. In the goalkeeper position, it is estimated that Chen Wei will still be chosen to play.
