The original text is as follows:

Good afternoon everyone, I am Li Yueru. I am sorry to report to you that due to the current injury, I will have to withdraw from the National Games.

Even after WNVB injured my left knee on the same side for the second time this year, I have always had high expectations for the National Games. My plan has always been to return to the team to participate in training and competition in the middle of the month. At the same time, the doctors are constantly following up on my recovery. However, because my recovery progress and condition have not reached the optimal standard, the doctors suggested that it is best not to force myself to compete in my current situation. The risk of re-injury is very high, which will have an impact on all subsequent competitions. Faced with such a major decision, it was really difficult for me to make my choice. On the one hand, I have not met you all in China for a long time. I very much hope to meet you at the National Games and work hard with my teammates in Guangdong to fight for this championship. But on the other hand, I have the Super League 3 in January and the national team’s world preliminaries in March. I need to have a long enough recovery time so that I can return to the game in good health and not miss important national team games.

In the end, I chose to withdraw from the National Games with great regret. I hope that I can appear in a healthy attitude in the next competition. See you in the next competition⌯oᴗo⌯
