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 - who defeated SIPG 2-1 - this season, scoring 14 goals in 18 appearances.</blockquote>
