As of now, Kim Shin-woo is not listed in the list of players who have been injured or out due to COVID-19 protocols. However, it's possible that he may be included if there are any new developments regarding his recovery.
Shanghai Shenhua recently announced that they had lost midfielder Kim Shin-woo to a serious knee injury during their match against Guangzhou Evergrande on January 24th. The injury occurred when he was tackling a player from Guangzhou, and he subsequently suffered a tear in his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).
Despite being sidelined for an extended period, Kim Shin-woo remains optimistic about his chances of making a full recovery. He has already undergone several surgeries and rehabilitation sessions at the hospital in China, and he is expected to undergo more treatments before returning to training and playing football again.
In addition to his injury, Kim Shin-woo also missed several matches due to COVID-19 protocols. He was among the players who tested positive for the virus after traveling with the team to Wuhan for a friendly match against the Chinese national team. After receiving treatment, he was able to return to training and play, but he still needs to go through the quarantine process and comply with other health regulations before being cleared to play again.
Overall, Kim Shin-woo's injury and subsequent recovery are significant setbacks for Shanghai Shenhua, as he is one of their key midfielders and has contributed significantly to the team's performance in the league and cup competitions. However, the club will continue to work hard to ensure that he returns to full fitness as soon as possible.
