On April 20, Beijing time, in the first round of the second round of the Chinese Super League, defending champion Wuhan Three Towns hosted Beijing Guoan, and before the match, the starting lineups of the two teams were released. Beijing Guoan's naturalized player Li Ke entered the list, which is also Li Ke's second entry into the Guoan match list after 710 days, with Li Ke's return from injury, can he return to the national football team this year and contribute to the national football team in the World Preliminary Round?
Li Ke was unable to play for Guoan for the entire season of the 2022 season due to injury, so after the season, Li Ke was included in the "trial list". However, during the winter break, Li Ke's trial training was recognized by coach Stanley, and it was once rumored that Li Ke was likely to return to the national football list, but in the end he was not recruited by national football coach Jankovic.
In the first round of the season against Meizhou Hakka match, Li Ke did not enter the competition list, but in the second round away to Wuhan Three Towns, Li Ke traveled with the team. Before the game, Li Ke had revealed on social media that he would enter the list of the competition, and after the list of competitions was released, Li Ke's name was also prominently listed.
This is also the second time that Li Ke has entered the Guoan competition list after 710 days, and the last time he played for Guoan was back in the 2021 season. Regardless of whether Li Ke can complete the substitute appearance in this game and be included in the game list, for Li Ke, it means that his injury has healed.
In the case of naturalization in the doldrums, except for Jiang Guangtai, all other naturalizations are considered marginalized, but after Axon and Fernando returned to the Chinese Super League, they both got the opportunity to play in the first round, and Li Ke is also close to starting the game, which will be a happy thing for the national football team.
