Shanghai Shenhua's Kim Shin-wook has suffered another injury setback, according to reports on Wednesday.
The South Korean forward was forced off in the first half of Shanghai Shenhua's match against Guangzhou Evergrande at the Shanghai Stadium on Tuesday night with what appeared to be a knee injury.
He was replaced by substitute Wang Zhenhao and will likely miss the remainder of the match and possibly the rest of the season.
Kim Shin-wook is one of Shanghai Shenhua's key players and his absence could have a significant impact on their chances of success this season.
He has been in excellent form for the club this season, scoring six goals in just eight league games so far.
However, injuries can happen to anyone and it's always a concern when a player suffers an injury.
It's important that the club takes the necessary steps to ensure that Kim Shin-wook recovers as quickly as possible and returns to full fitness.
We wish him a speedy recovery and hope he can return to action soon.
