HONG KONG (Reuters) - Former Tottenham Hotspur and Barcelona midfielder Paulinho has withdrawn from Guangzhou Evergrande's squad for the up-coming Asian Champions League tournament in Qatar due to a thigh injury, the Brazilian announced on social media.
The 31-year-old, who was his club’s top scorer this season as they finished runners-up in the Chinese Super League, is expected to be replaced in the squad by compatriot Ricardo Goulart.
