Mineiro and Xie Pengfei have been injured for several months, and Shenhua will strengthen the forward line in the summer window

Contributing Writer / Gan Hui Shanghai Shenhua, the leader of Shenzhen Xinpeng City, who had just lost to Shenzhen Xinpeng City in the last round of the league, suffered another blow when foreign striker Mineiro suffered a grade 4C injury (proximal tendon rupture) of the rectus femoris tendon in his right leg and is expected to be out of action for 4 months. In addition, Xie Pengfei, who was plagued by bone tissue hyperplasia last season, has decided to undergo surgery due to the aggravation of the injury, and the recovery period is 3 months. Overnight, Shenhua's forward personnel were seriously in a hurry, and the club will use the upcoming secondary transfer window of the Chinese Super League to strengthen personnel.

Yesterday evening (June 16), Shenhua Club issued an injury report, informing Mineiro and Xie Pengfei of their injuries.

Mineiro was injured in last weekend's away game against Shenzhen Xinpeng City. In the 79th minute, when Mineiro cut inside with the ball, he was injured due to excessive force and was immediately carried off the field on a stretcher.

On June 15, Mineiro returned to Shanghai with the team from Shenzhen. Although he can walk on his own without any assistance, it can be clearly felt that he is walking with a slight limp. After flying to Shanghai in the afternoon, the club immediately arranged for him to go to Shanghai Jiahui International Hospital for an MRI examination, and the results of the examination were like another basin of cold water, pouring on Shenhua, who had just suffered a defeat in Shenzhen. Mineiro has a grade 4C injury to the rectus femoris tendon in his right leg (proximal tendon rupture) and is expected to return to play in four months.

Shenhua Club revealed in the injury report that the club's medical team is arranging a post-injury rehabilitation plan for Mineiro, including the possibility of post-operative rehabilitation.

At the same time, the Shenhua Club also reported Xie Pengfei's injury. Unlike Mineiro, Xie Pengfei is an old injury. Last season, Xie Pengfei was trapped by bone tissue hyperplasia, but it was not too serious at the time, and he did not play too much, so he has been treated conservatively. This season, Xie Pengfei's injury has worsened, affecting training and competitions, and he basically has to take painkillers before the game. During the recent re-examination, it was found that Xie Pengfei's bone tissue hyperplasia had gradually enlarged and affected his mobility, and the team medical team decided to arrange surgery for him after discussing with relevant experts and myself to completely cure his bone tissue hyperplasia.

"Xie Pengfei has been plagued by injuries for a long time in previous training and competitions, and the impact injury to the tibia of his left leg caused bone tissue proliferation and compression of the posterior tibialis muscle, resulting in repeated pain symptoms during high-intensity exercise," the Shenhua Club wrote in the injury report. After re-examination, the bone tissue hyperplasia has gradually enlarged and affected the range of motion, and it is now confirmed that surgical treatment will be performed to remove this part of the extra bone tissue. It is expected to take three months to return to the game. ”

This season, Shenhua has been unlucky. In the last warm-up game of the winter training period, Dai Weijun, who was in good condition, ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, and the season was basically reimbursed before the new season started.

At the beginning of the season, Amadou, Zhu Chenjie, Jiang Shenglong, Luis and other main players were injured one after another, among which Amadou and Zhu Chenjie were seriously injured.

Seeing that the injured are gradually recovering, Amadou has basically recovered from his injury and entered the squad for the game, Shenhua was hit hard, and Mineiro and Xie Pengfei entered the injury list.

So far, Mineiro has scored eight goals and is tied for second place in the league's scorer list. He also contributed five assists, tying for first place in the league assists charts. As the top scorer and the player with the most assists in the Shenhua team, his injury is bound to have a big impact on the team. Shenhua gave a recovery period of 4 months, considering that it will take a certain amount of time to get back to the game after recovery, in fact, this serious injury has already meant that Mineiro will basically miss the second half of the league season.

Although one of the major characteristics of Shenhua is that the bench is relatively thick, it is large in the middle and few at both ends, and the forward line and back line are not very spacious. While Mineiro was injured for 4 months, Xie Pengfei, who had an aggravated old injury and needed surgery, needed to be out for 3 months, and Shenhua's forward line was suddenly overstretched. In addition to foreign aid Luis, only the veteran Hanchao, the teenager Liu Chengyu and Wang Hanlong, who basically has no professional game experience, are left.

It is understood that in the face of sudden accidents, Shenhua considered using the summer window to introduce new signings, especially foreign strikers, to strengthen the team's forward strength. In the first two seasons, Shenhua did not adjust foreign players in the middle of the league. Of course, the introduction of reinforcements involves many issues such as investment caps and salary caps, which need to be considered and decided holistically.

According to the arrangement at the beginning of the season, the summer transfer window of this season's Chinese Super League will open on June 23 and will close until July 21. In other words, in a few days, the summer window of this season's Chinese Super League will open, and Shenhua Club can use this window to make personnel adjustments. The 2025 Chinese Super League foreign aid rules are the "6555" policy: a total of 6 foreign players can be registered in the whole season, a maximum of 5 people can be registered in each transfer window, and a maximum of 5 people can be registered and 5 people will appear at the same time in each game. As a result, Shenhua can adjust an outside player in the summer transfer window.
