On the 23rd, Chinese soccer media Dong Qudi reported that although Wu Lei was called back to the Chinese national team, he missed the game due to a recurrence of injury before the league match between Shanghai Haigang and Shandong Taishan. 'Currently, after participating in national team training normally, careful judgment is needed as to whether he will be able to participate in the June match,' Wu Lei reported.
Fortunately for China, Wu Lei participated in national team training. China is currently in the midst of the biggest crisis. The size of the World Cup expanded from the 2026 World Cup in North Korea and the U.S., and they had hopes of advancing to the World Cup finals for the first time in 24 years, but they were on the verge of elimination as they fell to the bottom of Group C in the third qualifying round in Asia.
If China wants to secure a ticket to the World Cup, it must at least advance to the fourth qualifying round. In order to advance to the fourth qualifying round, they must overcome fourth-place Indonesia and fifth-place Bahrain in the remaining two third qualifying matches. China will meet Indonesia and Bahrain in the A-match in June, so there is still hope.

On the 25th, the second day of the Chinese national team's convocation training, Wu Lei is reportedly unable to participate in the team's full-fledged tactical training due to the aftermath of the knee injury. Dong Chudi said 'Urey is jogging lightly next to the training ground instead of ball training'Urey said he is not yet fit to participate in team training.
Another Chinese media outlet, Sohu, said 'Urai joined the national team and arrived at the training site together, but intensive team training is difficult for the time being. While the national team highly appreciates Wu Lei's skills and experience, they are concerned that his injury will worsen due to excessive participation,' he said, adding that the team is also agonizing over whether to play or not.

China will have to risk its life and death in the upcoming match against Indonesia on the 5th. If Indonesia is not caught, China is likely to lose its hope of advancing to the fourth qualifying round due to the goal difference problem. Concerns are growing that his departure could be a fatal loss of power for Chinese football in the absence of adequate offensive resources to replace Wu Lei.
Still, we still have 10 days, so we can't ignore the possibility of Wu Lei's dramatic recovery. If Urey fails to play against Indonesia, he is likely not to appear on the field in the match against Bahrain on the 10th.
