BEIJING, May 24 (Xinhua) -- Shandong Taishan central defender Jadson Morais and striker Fei Nanduo are not fit enough to play in Saturday's game against Zhejiang FC, the Chinese Super League (CSL) team's head coach Choi Kang-Hee said on Friday.

"Jadson showed a strong desire to play, but he and Fei Nanduo haven't recovered fully yet," Choi said at the pre-match press conference.

"Considering the international break is coming, we must be cautious in using them," he added.

Both Jadson and Fei have been sidelined due to injuries since late April. The latter was recently called up by the Chinese national team to prepare for their two World Cup qualifiers in June.

Choi said that his side's performances have been affected by injuries and the lack of decent foreign players.

"Admittedly, injuries and lacking of fit foreign players are the two major problems we are facing. We will discuss them with the club and hopefully reach some conclusions," he added. Enditem
