It has been a difficult season for The Flower of Shanghai who are currently 12th in the 16-team Chinese Super League.
They have been without striker Odion Ighalo, who was on duty with Nigeria at the AFCON in Egypt.
The Nigerian will be out for several weeks after he copped an injury in the team’s third place match against Tunisia.
Ighalo finished the tournament as top scorer and is eager to return, quickly, to help Shanghai Shenhua battle their way into contention for a place in the top flight next season.
