World No. 2 Guo Yan returned to play against Vietnam at China's second match of the women's team first round at the Doha Asian Games on Wednesday, after missing the world champions' opener against Kuwait in the morning for treating her inflamed eye.

"She's been all right after the treatment and showed her game against the Vietnamese," said head coach Shi Zhihao after Guo breezed past Pham Thi 11-3, 11-1, 11-3 to help China win over Vietnam without losing a set.

Guo, 23, failed to show up six hours earlier when China played Kuwait, as the newly crowned World Cup holder had an eye ailment.

"Now we can see that she's fit to match," added Shi.

According to a source close to the Chinese team's medical staff, Guo Yan had been sent to the hospital inside the Athletes' Village and did some transfusions to cure her eye, but it's not been confirmed by members of the Chinese team.

"It should be some inflammation," the source told Xinhua.
