The news of Vargas' injury at Shanghai Port has caused quite a stir among fans and players alike. The Brazilian forward, who is currently on loan from FC Porto to Shanghai Shenhua, sustained an ankle injury during the match against Guangzhou Evergrande in China's Super League.

Vargas was playing well for Shanghai Shenhua, scoring two goals in their recent matches. However, his injury has put an end to his promising form and may also affect his chances of being selected for Brazil's upcoming World Cup squad.

The injury occurred during a high-speed tackle by Guangzhou Evergrande's defender, which resulted in Vargas landing awkwardly on his ankle. He was taken off the pitch immediately after the incident and underwent medical checks, but it seems that the severity of the injury was not as expected.

Vargas' agent, Jorge Mendes, confirmed the severity of the injury and said that the player would be out for "a few weeks." This means that he will miss several important games for Shanghai Shenhua, including the Chinese Super League and possibly the AFC Champions League.

While this is certainly a setback for Shanghai Shenhua, it also presents an opportunity for their coach, Guan Wenbo, to give other players more playing time. With Vargas injured, there could be a chance for some of the younger players to step up and prove themselves.

However, it remains to be seen how long Vargas will be out and what impact this will have on the team's performance. For now, they will have to rely on their experienced players to fill the void left by Vargas' absence.
