Chen Yongqiang was attacked by an unidentified assailant following an argument when he was leaving the restaurant after a meal on Saturday morning, the Beijing Daily Messenger reported.

The 27-year-old underwent a five-hour operation at Shenzhen's Honghui Hospital and remains in serious condition after bone fragments were removed from his skull, the newspaper said.

Chen, who plays for Shenzhen Jianlibao club, was also slashed across his back and suffered a deep gash on his arm, the report said.

It was unclear if Chen would be able to play football again, the paper quoted doctors as saying. Chen was named to the national side in March.

Other press reports said the attacker, who remains at large, also produced a hand gun during the confrontation.
