China international striker Li Jinyu is likely to miss the rest of the
season, his club Shandong Luneng said on Tuesday.
The 28-year-old Li
broke a toe in his left foot during a Chinese Super League match against Dalian
Shide on August 31.
"What makes the problem more tricky is that he cannot
receive operation treatment, so it will take a longer period to recover," said a
club official.
Li was out of action for eight months last year due to a
knee ligament injury.
Li's absence will be a serious blow for Shandong
when it hosts defending champion Al Ittihad Wednesday night in the first leg of
the Asian Football Champions League quarterfinals. The return fixture will take
place a week later in Jeddah.
Last year's China FA Cup winner, Shandong
now is in fifth placein the 14-team Chinese Super League, 16 points adrift from
leader Dalian Shide.
