SSG Landers outfielder Jihoon Choi conducted outdoor batting training ahead of the Hanwha Eagles match at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 10th. Jihoon Choi complained of thigh muscle pain during the game against the LG Twins in Jamsil on the 21st of last month. The next day, he was excluded from the entry as the result of the examination revealed major retirement muscle damage. Although the injury was not serious at the time, it was found that he had to take a break for about two weeks to watch his condition and undergo a re-examination.
The SSG club moved quickly to help Jihoon Choi recover quickly and scheduled its recovery at the Ijima Oral Center in Yokohama, Japan. Jihoon Choi moved to Yokohama on the 28th of last month and completed a two-week rehabilitation program. Jihoon Choi, who returned home on the 8th, trained with his teammates at Landers Field on the 10th after a break on the 9th.
I'm not in a state where I can play yet. Now that the injured area has recovered, and we've started technical training, we need a little more time to recover both ball-seasons and weeks. The Jihoon Choi also described his current state as "80%".
SSG coach Lee Soo-yong, who checked his physical condition directly with the Jihoon Choi after batting training, said, `I will not play this week. If it goes smoothly, I'm going to play one live game this Sunday. I think I can come to the game as early as next week."
