According to Hira no Keichi, the injury occurred while Huang was warming up, specifically during a running drill. This is a particularly unfortunate turn of events as Huang had only been activated from the injured list on July 26th, having recovered from a previous injury. This latest incident means he has yet to make his first-team appearance this season after his return, leaving the manager deeply worried and regretful.
