Zhang, who twisted his right ankle in China's 1-0 win over Bahrain on November 14, has planned to seek treatment at a rehabilitation center in Amsterdam, Holland.

"We will go to a professional rehabilitation center in Amsterdam, Holland in a few days, where Zhang Yuning can receive comprehensive treatment and have a full recovery," his father Zhang Quancheng said.

Zhang Yuning, who scored the winner in China's win over Bahrain, said he had to recover in time for China's next match -- the World Cup qualifier against Saudi Arabia on March 20.

"I yearn to play for the national team, and I'm sure I will be available then," he said.
