The Shanghai seaport, which was regrouped on Monday, has begun preparations for this year's new season. Harbor team foreign aid López, who is still in Brazil, posted a video of running on the treadmill on social media in the early hours of this morning Beijing time, and the striker is actively preparing for a timely return from injury for the 2022 season.
"With the patient help of many professionals, I was able to run for the first time after 4 months of surgery. It's nice to know that it's getting closer to what I love to do – playing on the pitch. Thank you again to each and every one of me who has supported and encouraged me during this difficult time. "López, who is recovering well after a serious injury, is very happy.
López was seriously injured in an accident during a team training session at the end of September last year, was diagnosed with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, was reimbursed early for the season, and missed the subsequent FA Cup and the Chinese Super League championship competition.
After communicating with the club, López returned to Brazil and underwent surgery a month after his injuries.
After the successful operation, he began to walk on crutches from the ground, and gradually carried out rehabilitation training. Now that López has been able to run, he is getting closer and closer to returning to the court.
Prior to his injury last season, López made 14 appearances for Harbour in the first stage of the Chinese Super League, with four goals and one assist.
However, all four of his goals came from the first and second rounds of the league. In the next 12 games, Lopez was clearly in poor shape, missing many good chances to break the goal and key opportunities in key games, and his performance was criticized by fans.
In an interview with Brazilian media in January, López, who is recuperating from injury, said he will focus on the 2022 season and that "in the new year I will work hard to further improve my stats and help the team on and off the field." ”
With the 2022 season expected to start at the end of April, while resuming training, López is also waiting for the right window and flights to enter China. Of course, for him who has just recovered from serious injuries, the first thing to do is to make a full recovery and ensure that the injury does not recur.
Last year, another Harbour foreign player, Mystrovic, who underwent surgery on his knee, returned to the team five months after a serious injury, but has been plagued by this injury ever since, and eventually failed to play a game for the team throughout the season.
Along with Lopez, who was waiting for the right moment to return home in Brazil, another Brazilian foreign player from the Harbour team, Paulinho. After a hand fracture at the end of last year, Paulinho missed the last few matches of the Chinese Super League championship group and the FA Cup final.
Paulinho's most recent appearance in the public eye was a car accident in Brazil a while ago. He drove his McLaren sports car into a tree because of the rainy road. Although the car was badly damaged, Paulinho himself was not injured.
