Augusto, the star forward for the Chinese Super League (CSL) side Shanghai Shenhua, is expected to return from injury in time for the championship match against Guangzhou Evergrande on August 18th.
The Brazilian international suffered an ankle injury during the team's recent game and has been out of action for several weeks. However, he is now recovering well and is expected to be back in time for the big match.
Shenhua's head coach, Luiz Felipe Scolari, is delighted with the news and believes that Augusto's return will give his team a significant boost. "We're all excited about Augusto's return," said Scolari. "He's one of our best players and we need him to perform at his best if we want to win the championship."
Augusto's absence has been felt by the team, as he provides a key attacking presence and has scored important goals for them this season. His return means that Shenhua have a much stronger squad and should be able to compete more effectively against their opponents.
Despite the setback, Shenhua have still been performing well in the CSL and sit second in the table. The team is led by a strong defense, which has kept them in contention despite the loss of key players such as Augusto.
Overall, Augusto's return is a welcome development for Shenhua and they will be hoping that he can help them secure victory over Guangzhou Evergrande on August 18th. With their talented squad and experienced coaching staff, there is no doubt that Shenhua have what it takes to succeed in the CSL this year.
