News Source: Wang Siyu, China’s women’s basketball core player, will return to China from Melbourne today and is expected to meet with China women’s basketball on the 19th. Wang Siyu had a shoulder injury cure and rehabilitation in Melbourne, Australia. Although the injury has not yet recovered, Wang Siyu decided to leave for the first time after she was called up for the Asian Cup by the national team. It is understood that Wang Siyu will go overseas to practice with Chinese women’s basketball, but may miss some warm-up competitions. However, Wang Siyu will play in the Asian Cup and contribute his strength to China’s qualification for the Paris Olympics women’s basketball.
As far as I know, Wang Siyu has been affected by shoulder injuries since last year. After the end of WCBA this season, Wang Siyu conducted a film shooting examination and a consultation with a team of medical experts. The result showed that Wang Siyu had a serious shoulder injury and limited shoulder mobility. The doctor gave two treatment plans: surgery or conservative treatment. Considering the recovery duration and other factors, Wang Siyu finally decided to carry out conservative treatment. Last month, Wang Siyu’s brokerage team arranged her to go to Melbourne for cure and rehabilitation. The treatment for Wang Siyu was the best local medical team in Melbourne. At that time, it was estimated that the recovery time would take 8 to 12 weeks.
Wang Siyu’s overall recovery in Melbourne is good. However, due to the merger of the Asian Cup and the Olympic qualifying competition recently, the Asian Cup results will be directly linked to the qualification of the Paris Olympic Games, and China women’s basketball has to change the competition goals. The team is no longer aimed at training young players, but to fight hard and get the qualification for the Paris Olympics. Under such circumstances, China recalled a number of women’s basketball foreign players including Yang Liwei, Han Xu and Li Meng women’s basketball. Wang Siyu, who was recovering in Melbourne, also set off to return immediately.
Since Wang Siyu’s shoulder injury has not recovered yet, she still focused on recovery in the early women’s basketball of her return to China. However, Wang Siyu hopes that she can return to the court as soon as possible to help the team achieve good results in the Asian Cup.
