Changchun Yatai confirmed that first-choice goalkeeper Wu Yake underwent anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus repair surgery on his right knee in Chongqing. He will remain there for around 10 more days of post-operation treatment, with an estimated recovery period of 3–4 months. The setback means Wu Yake will miss Changchun Yatai’s decisive final fixtures in their relegation battle.
