Song Lam Nghe An's pillars have fully recovered from injuries.

In the 2023/24 season, after the departure of central defender Que Ngoc Hai, coach Song Lam Nghe An decided to bring midfielder Tran Nam Hai back to play in the central defender position. The player born in 2004 is considered one of the important links that helped Song Lam Nghe An successfully stay in the league.

However, in the final round of V-League 2023/24, in the match between Song Lam Nghe An and The Cong - Viettel, Nam Hai was unable to play due to a knee ligament injury. After an active recovery process, the midfielder from Thanh Chuong has now been able to return to training with his teammates.

On August 6, during Song Lam Nghe An's training session to prepare for the new season, Nam Hai was assigned by coach Pham Anh Tuan to play the role of a central defender. He completed the training plan set out by the Vinh Stadium coaching staff quite well.

It can be said that the return of Nam Hai is extremely necessary for Song Lam Nghe An. Because having Nam Hai in the squad not only helps the Nghe team solidify its defense, but when needed, coach Pham Anh Tuan can still use him in the role of an anchor midfielder.

Also on August 6, Song Lam Nghe An continued to welcome the return of striker Phan Xuan Dai after a long period of injury treatment. Xuan Dai was injured in the match against Nam Dinh in round 22 of V-League 2023/24. That was the situation that took place in the 80th minute, when the striker wearing the number 21 shirt had a ball dispute with an opponent in the penalty area. After the match, Xuan Dai was diagnosed with a partial tear of the anterior cruciate ligament of the knee and had to undergo rehabilitation treatment in Hanoi. After more than 2 months of treatment, the striker born in 2003 has almost fully recovered and can complete the training plan required by the coaching staff of the Nghe An team.

In addition, at this time, Ho Van Cuong, Ba Quyen, and Khac Luong are also injured. In the case of Ba Quyen and Khac Luong, it is likely that they can return to Vinh Stadium before the new season begins. In particular, Ho Van Cuong's injury is showing positive progress. It is expected that starting next week, August 12, the Vietnamese player will be able to join the Nghe An team.

Thus, entering the new season, Song Lam Nghe An will almost have the strongest force. This will be a positive signal for the Vinh home team to reap better results compared to the previous season.

According to the V-League 2024/25 schedule, the first round will take place on September 14, Song Lam Nghe An will play at Vinh Stadium to host newly promoted opponent SHB Da Nang./.
