Special correspondent Gan Hui reports On February 25, Shenhua Club announced the treatment plan for Zhu Chenjie, who was injured in the first round of the league. Previously, Zhu Chenjie's injury was diagnosed as a comminuted fracture of the left maxillary sinus wall and a fracture of the left zygomaticofrontal suture separation, Shenhua revealed that after consultation with many experts, it was decided to adopt conservative treatment, and the recovery time is expected to be 6 to 8 weeks.

Judging from the recovery time given by Shenhua's official, Zhu Chenjie will miss a number of Chinese Super League games, including Shenhua's home game against Guoan, the two-legged knockout match of the AFC Champions League Elite League with Kawasaki Frontale, and the two World Preliminary Matches of the National Football Team in March. Shenhua said, "Recently, Zhu Chenjie has carried out 3D facial modeling, and will resume training by wearing a mask in the future. ”

On February 25, Zhu Chenjie spoke out publicly for the first time after his injury, he wrote on social platforms, "I am very touched to see the care and blessings of many fans and friends, your support has made me more motivated, thank you!" I will try to recover and get back on the pitch as soon as possible! ”

Zhu Chenjie was injured in Shenhua's home game against Changchun Yatai in the first round of the league. When the game came to an end, Zhu Chenjie hit the head of the defender with his header and fell to the ground in pain. Considering that the score on the field was still 1-1, in order to save time, Zhu Chenjie did not let the team doctor enter the field to check the injury for himself, but endured the severe pain, got up from the field and threw himself into the game.

After the injury, Zhu Chenjie contributed a header to clear the siege, and also launched an attack from the backfield through a precise long pass, found Mineiro, and Andre completed the countdown stunner.

After scoring the goal, Zhu Chenjie rushed from the back to the front court to celebrate with his teammates. As long as they are on the pitch, these iron-blooded centre-backs always put the interests of the team first and put their personal safety at risk. The comminuted fracture of the left maxillary sinus wall and the left zygomaticofrontal suture separation fracture were not minor injuries, but judging from a series of performances after his injury, he was seriously injured and devoted himself to the game, thinking about helping the team catch up with the score, and seemed to have completely forgotten the severe pain of the fracture. This is not the first time that the iron-blooded central defender has insisted on playing with an injury, and in the world preliminaries of the national football team last year, when he suffered a thigh muscle injury, he also chose to persist until the end of the game.

Zhu Chenjie is the absolute main force in the backline of Shenhua and the national football team, and his injury is bound to have a great impact on the defense of the two teams.

Judging from the schedule, in the next 6 to 8 weeks, Shenhua and the national football team will have a number of very important games, which can really be described as "Beacon Fire March". This weekend, Shenhua will play at home against Beijing Guoan. Guoan are the favourites to win the title this season, the team has a very strong attacking power, and Zhu Chenjie's absence is bound to make Shenhua's defense face a serious challenge. Last season, Zhu Chenjie missed the entire September campaign due to injury, and the stability of Shenhua's defense decreased a lot, and the number of goals conceded increased significantly.

After the "Beijing-Shanghai War", Shenhua will immediately usher in the AFC Champions League elite league knockout round with Japan's Kawasaki Frontale home and away two legs. Although Shenhua had won at home in the first stage of the game, Kawasaki Frontale's strength was definitely above Shenhua in the first stage of the East Asian region, so defense was crucial. Then, on April 6, they challenged Harbour away and ushered in the first "Shanghai Derby" of the Chinese Super League this season. Extrapolating from the time, Zhu Chenjie may have a certain degree of difficulty in catching up with this game.

In addition, the national team has two key games in March, the team will play Saudi Arabia away on March 21 and Australia at home on March 25, these two games will determine the qualification situation of the national football team to a certain extent. Therefore, after Zhu Chenjie was injured, the national football team also attached great importance to it and has been in close communication with Shenhua to understand Zhu Chenjie's injury.

Although the treatment time is short, if the player rushes to play when the injury is not thorough, it does not rule out the possibility of causing secondary injury and even affecting his career.

A doctor friend from a tertiary hospital told reporters, "Before the fracture site heals, the injured person's head cannot be injured and impacted." But as we all know, as a defender, you need to score goals and clear the ball with your head, and you will also have physical contact with the opposition during the game. In this case, even if you wear a mask, there are still risks. So, as a doctor, it is still recommended that players play after the fractured head has healed completely. ”
