# Shanghai Shenhua's Moreno Receives Latest Injury Update from Team Doctor
Shanghai Shenhua's star striker **Nicolás Moreno** has received a positive update on his injury from team doctor Li Xiaoming, as the forward continues his recovery process. Moreno has been sidelined since the match against Hangzhou Dianzhuo in early April, undergoing treatment for a minor muscle strain in his calf.
The team doctor confirmed that Moreno is progressing well and is on track to return to full fitness in approximately 2-3 weeks. "The scans and tests have shown encouraging signs," said Dr. Li. "Nicolás is following a targeted recovery plan, and we are optimistic about his prospects for a full recovery."
Moreno, who has been a key player for Shanghai Shenhua this season, scored four goals in six appearances before the injury. His absence is a significant blow for the team, especially with the upcoming AFC Champions League final looming large on the horizon.
Head coach Oscar Luna expressed confidence in the team's ability to adapt and overcome the absence of Moreno. "We have a deep squad, and everyone is ready to step up," Luna said. "Our focus remains on delivering a strong performance in the AFC Champions League final, and we're confident that we can do so without Nicolas."
The team is currently preparing for their next match, a crucial encounter in the CFA Super League against Beijing Guoan. Fans will be eager to see how the team copes without Moreno, but the positive injury update has provided a much-needed boost in confidence.
Shanghai Shenhua's medical team has been working tirelessly to ensure that Moreno's recovery is as smooth as possible, and the club is leaving no stone unturned to get their key asset back on the pitch as soon as possible.
For now, all eyes are on the team as they aim to secure a historic victory in the AFC Champions League final and prove their mettle on the biggest stage of all.
