Wu Lei (Shanghai Haigang), the leading striker of the Chinese national soccer team and the fourth-largest goal scorer in 2024, has begun rehabilitation to advance to the World Cup finals.
Chinese media "Jiu Pai News" reported on the 13th (Korea Standard Time) that "Woori released a rehabilitation training video ahead of the World Cup qualifying round in June."
The media said, "Urey posted a video of his recovery training on his social network service (SNS), and with the help of a rehabilitation therapist, Urey started lower extremity strength training and ball training, and now he may suddenly stop and change direction while dribbling with the ball."
Born in 1991, Wu Lei is a striker representing China. He played for the Chinese national soccer team and scored 36 goals in 99 A matches.
In particular, it made headlines by scoring many goals in 2024. The global soccer media "Score 90" announced the "Top 15 goals scored by clubs and national teams in 2024" through SNS in November last year, when Wu Lei scored 42 goals to rank fourth overall.
Wu Lei had 38 goals and 17 assists in 36 matches at the Shanghai Hai River last year. Notably, he scored 34 goals in the league alone, leading Shanghai to win the Chinese Super League title in the 2024 season. He scored four goals and one assist for the Chinese national team.
According to the media, as of November 2024, only three strikers have scored more goals than Urey: Viktor Jockeres (58 goals, Sporting CP), Erling Holan (45 goals, Manchester City) and Harry Kane (43 goals, Bayern Munich).
Urey, who scored many goals last year, decided to undergo surgery in January due to a chronic knee injury. He missed the A-match schedule in March as he underwent meniscus surgery.
Without Wu Lei, China lost all of Group C's 7th to 8th preliminary rounds in Asia for the 2026 FIFA North-China World Cup held in March.
They lost Group C 7 away to Saudi Arabia 0-1, and finished 0-2 at home against Australia in Group C 8 with a lethargic performance. 온라인바카라
With only two matches left until the end of the third qualifying round, China has six points (2 wins and six losses), ranking sixth in Group C. The top two teams in the tournament's regulatory group will advance to the World Cup finals, while the third and fourth teams will participate in the playoffs. The fifth and sixth teams will be eliminated from the preliminary round.
Currently, China has seven points difference between China and second-ranked Australia (13 points), so even if China wins both of its remaining two matches, it will not be able to go straight to the World Cup finals. After all, China's goal is to advance to the playoffs, and the difference between the fourth-ranked Indonesia (nine points) is three points. China will play the ninth away game of Group C in the third Asian qualifying round against Indonesia on June 5, and then play the final match of the third qualifying round against Bahrain at home on June 10.
Wu Lei's return has sent Chinese soccer fans into a frenzy as a crucial two-game series awaits.
According to the media, Chinese fans who watched Wu Lei's training video wished Wu Lei to return to the national team in the comments, saying, "Now we can play in the World Cup qualifiers in June," "Wu Lei, take us to the World Cup."
The media also said, "In March 2024, Wu Lei became the captain of the Chinese national soccer team and is currently the most important player on the front line of the national team. According to the training video, Wu Lei is expected to return to the stadium in May. If he can recover in time, he will get a chance to play in two games against Indonesia and Bahrain on June 5 and 10, respectively."
