Chinese Super League (CSL) club Shanghai Shenhua announced on Monday that three of its key players will not play the upcoming AFC Champions League game at Gwangju due to injury.

Defender Ibrahim Amadou and midfielder Fei Nanduo are still recovering from the injuries they picked up in Shanghai Shenhua's 2-1 win over Chengdu Rongcheng in its final CSL tie of this season earlier this month, the Shanghai club said on its social media account.

Defender Jiang Shenglong suffered a muscle strain in China's 3-1 loss to Japan in a FIFA World Cup qualifier last Tuesday, according to Shanghai Shenhua.

The Shanghai side headed to Gwangju, South Korea on Monday afternoon without the three players, the Shanghai club said.

Shanghai Shenhua will take on Gwangju FC on Wednesday.
