Guangzhou Evergrande defender Zhang Linpeng facing injury lay-off

Beijing, Dec 3 : Guangzhou Evergrande defender Zhang Linpeng will be ruled out of action for six weeks due to an ankle injury picked up in an Asian Champions League game, the Chinese Super League club has announced. "Zhang Linpeng received surgery on his right ankle at Aspetar hospital in Doha on the morning of December 2. The surgery was a success and he is expected to recover in six weeks," Evergrande said in a statement on Wednesday night, reports Xinhua news agency.
