Vargas, the star forward for the Chinese Super League club Shanghai Port, has been out of action since early June due to an injury.

The Argentine striker suffered a setback in his recovery process after being involved in a collision during a training session. The severity of the injury is currently unknown, but it's likely that Vargas will miss the remainder of the season and possibly even next year.

This news comes as a disappointment for Shanghai Port fans who have been eagerly awaiting Vargas' return to form. He was one of the team's key players last season, scoring 16 goals in all competitions, and was expected to lead them into the playoffs this year.

However, the injury means that Shanghai Port may need to look elsewhere for their attacking options in the coming months. They could potentially bring in a new striker or use their current squad to fill the void left by Vargas' absence.

In the meantime, Shanghai Port will be hoping that Vargas can make a full recovery soon and return to the field at some point in the future. In the meantime, they'll have to rely on their other strikers and hope for better results in the upcoming matches.
