Final list of U22 Vietnam: 4 players eliminated

This afternoon, August 13, the Vietnam national team's coaching staff and coach Nguyen Huu Thang finalized the list of 20 official players of the Vietnam U22 team, participating in the 2017 SEA Games.

Coach Huu Thang has finalized the list of 20 Vietnamese players attending the 29th SEA Games.

Accordingly, the four eliminated players were Sy Huy (goalkeeper), two defenders Tan Tai, Thanh Thinh and Tan Sinh. In the goalkeeper position, Sy Huy could not compete with Phi Minh Long and Tien Dung.

Goalkeeper Phi Minh Long suffered a sprained wrist during the training session of the U22 Vietnam team on August 11. However, he still received the trust of coach Nguyen Huu Thang. According to the doctors of the U22 Vietnam team, Minh Long will have to rest for about a week. Therefore, he is likely to not participate in the first two matches of the U22 Vietnam team.

Similarly, the remaining 3 players, Tan Tai, Thanh Thinh and Tan Sinh, were not on the final list because their skills could not compete with the remaining players on the team.

The decision was announced by coach Nguyen Huu Thang to the players. According to the plan this afternoon, coach Huu Thang represented the U22 Vietnam team to attend a press conference before the first match of group B at the Renaissance Hotel, Kuala Lumpur.

This afternoon, the U22 Vietnam team will have a training session at 3:00 p.m. The media department of the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) said that coach Huu Thang requested a closed practice session, with the press only having 15 minutes to work at the beginning of the practice session.
