'SSG Super Emergency' The Jihoon Choi is down"Not to the point where it's too bad"

SSG removed the outfielder's Jihoon Choi from the first-team entry ahead of the LG Twins match in Jamsil on the 22nd and registered rookie outfielder Chung Hyun-seung. This is Jihoon Choi who felt stiff in his thigh in the second half of the LG match on the previous day (21st). I felt uncomfortable during the ninth inning, and at that time, I said "It's okay" after checking with the training part.
However, the next day, on the morning of the 22nd, he underwent a hospital examination to confirm his condition, and he was diagnosed with damage to his left large rectus muscle. An SSG official explained, "'Once we take a break, we will have a re-examination two weeks later and the exact return schedule will come out.'
It is a Jihoon Choi that has been active in offense and defense by playing all but one of the 117 games played by SSG this season. In particular, Jihoon Choi's departure is fatal as it boasts the fastest foot and wide outfield defense in the team. The injury itself is not very serious, but the fact that it is difficult to play for at least two weeks feels great at this time when one win and one win are important.
Director Lee Soo-yong also said, `It's not just a disappointment, but I feel heavy. Jihoon contributed a lot to the team in offense and defense. He is also a very passionate player to play in the game. It's a little sudden, but I think we need to plan what to do for the rest of the games," he said bitterly.
SSG filled the outfield without Jihoon Choi with Guillermo Herredia, Choi Sang-min and Ha Jae-hoon. The team's fate can be determined by how much Choi Sang-min and Chung Hyun-seung fill the empty seats in center field.
