In the Chinese Super League Shanghai Shenhua striker Demba Ba has undergone surgery after suffering an horrific leg break against city rivals SIPG last week. The Senagalise striker was caught in a tangle with defender Sun Xiang which resulted in a freak injury for the former Chelsea man.
The 31-year-old was in the operating room for more than three hours and, according to the chief surgeon, the operation was a success. French orthopaedic doctor Olivier Bringer, who supervised the operation is confident he will make a return to the pitch to resume his footballing career. Following last Sunday's accident many had feared Ba's playing days were over but Mr. Bringer believes a full recovery is very possible.
