It's already been a month since I lost power. Why won't we hear the news of his return yet.

SSG Landers' key hitter Choi Jung has yet to recover 100%. Choi Jeong suffered a right hamstring injury while training for defense ahead of an exhibition game in Gwangju on March 17. An SSG official said, `At that time, Choi Jung-eun was doing defensive training and felt uncomfortable during the catch motion. At that time, it seems that discomfort occurred in a situation where the body was somewhat rigid due to the cold wave.

Two close examinations at the hospital on 18 and 19 March revealed a diagnosis of damage to the right hamstring (grade 1).




The pain has since subsided, but no diagnosis has been made that he has fully recovered from the examination since then. Choi Jeong had a second round of checkups on March 31 and April 1. Again, 90% of the findings were found to have recovered.

And on April 10, the third examination was completed. However, this time, the result of a complete recovery did not come out. Each player has different injury conditions, but usually hamstrings can only be entered into practice when the hospital examination shows the result of "100% recovered condition". Even if the pain has already subsided, the players cannot ignore the psychological stability they feel.

Furthermore, Choi Jeong had been working out as well. Not only does he not play in practice, but he has been working out at Incheon Stadium every day without burdening his hamstring, creating a body that can play immediately.




However, a month has already passed since the injury occurred. Director of SSG Lee Soo-yong "I've been exercising continuously, but I haven't been completely cured at the examination on the 10th, so I'm a little bit there. I think Jung got hit by reality. I just told him to take a break this week."

Choi Jeong-do, who had been preparing to return by continuing rehabilitation training, was forced to shake psychologically as his complete recovery was delayed. According to the original plan, it was expected to return to early and mid-April after a re-examination at the end of March.

Director Lee Soo-yong said, `Let's check the condition again on Tuesday (15th). They say there should be no pain, but since it's not 100% done, I think we should check it again exactly and decide (when to return)" he said.




In fact, more than anyone else, director Lee Sung-yong is waiting for Choi Jung. Recently, there has been no 'Solver' in particular opportunity situations for the team as a whole. On top of that, even Guillermo Herredia was recently out of power due to surgery to remove a thigh cyst, and two central hitters were out at once. It takes a little more time to return to Choi Jeong, so the worries deepen.
