Chinese striker Zhang Shuo has arrived for duty with the A-League's Newcastle Jets but may not play for several weeks due to an undisclosed injury.
The 26-year-old Zhang, who has 10 caps for China, had his arrival delayed while he waited for a visa. He last played on July 28 for his former Indonesian club Persik Kediri.
Jets coach Branko Culina had initially hoped to have Zhang available for Saturday's trip to Perth, but said Tuesday that the new player would need time to recover from an existing injury and build up his fitness.
The Jets have had draws in their opening two matches of the season and are in fifth place in the 11-team league.
