Demba Ba To Retire?

Senegalese striker Demba Ba says he looks forward to getting back on the pitch as quick as possible.

The Shanghai Shenhua striker broke his leg in an awkward situation during a game last week and has now been said to be out for 8 months.

However, the former Newcastle, West Ham and Chelsea striker has stated on his twitter account that he won't retire because of this massive set back.

"After few days, i just act knowledge of
all the support around the world. May
God guide us and bless us all #peace
THANK YOU"; The 31-year old  tweeted

"This is a really bad injury but I know I can overcome it. I won't call time on my career, that's for sure," Ba told RMC.
"They haven't done the full operation
because I told them to wait.
"I wanted to go to Europe to have it done but when I learned that was not possible I arranged with the doctor here to sort me out a French surgeon who should arrive shortly. He will operate on me.
"There are other players who have returned from similar injuries, like Hatem Ben Arfa.
"Something similar happened to me earlier in my career and the treatment options are much better now. I think I'll make a speedier return this time.
"The season here ends in November and the new one starts in March. I'll do my best to return in time for the season after that."
Ba had been in great form for Shenhua this season, scoring 14 goals in 18 appearances.
