Zhu Ting to visit Spanish doctors as wrist injury persists, with Chinese volleyball star set to miss Asian Games and Olympic qualifying
- The 28-year-old visits team’s training base in Beilun for first time in two years to give coach Cai Bin an injury update
- Zhu has not played for national team since Tokyo Olympics, and looks set for further absence with more rehab required
The wait for Zhu Ting’s return to the Chinese women’s national volleyball team is set to go on further, with the star spiker confirming she will undergo more rehabilitative training on her wrist injury.
The 28-year-old, who was part of the side that won gold under Lang Ping at the 2016 Rio Games at what was her debut tournament, returned to the squad’s Beilun training base in Zhejiang on Wednesday to give coach Cai Bin an update on her injury.
She has never played for Cai, who succeeded Lang after China’s Tokyo exit in 2021, but indicated she could be ready to feature in Paris next summer should the team qualify.
“It’s been two years since I last came to the Beilun training base,” Zhu wrote in a post on Weibo, China’s Twitter-like social media platform.
“This time I made a special trip to visit my coach and my teammates, and I also talked about my injury recovery process with coach Cai.
