How was Cong Phuong injured?
According to the latest information, Cong Phuong's injury has not yet fully recovered, so this striker is unlikely to be able to participate in the friendly match at 9am tomorrow morning (Vietnam time) with Tuan Anh's Yokohama FC.
Previously, Mito Hollyhock and Yokohama FC were said to have tried to organize this friendly match just to have Cong Phuong and Tuan Anh play as starters, facing each other to promote their image.
If Cong Phuong cannot play, or plays for an insignificant amount of time, it will truly disappoint the fans' expectations, as well as Mito Hollyhock's expectations.
So, what happened to Cong Phuong's injury that even though he went to Japan, he still hasn't healed?

It is important to know that during the recent Lunar New Year, Cong Phuong shared with reporters that he did not suffer any serious pain or break his collarbone at the end of the match between U23 Vietnam and U23 UAE as reported by the Vietnamese media.
Phuong even rotated her hand in circles, using the injured hand to lift heavy objects as if to prove the "strange" things she said.
However, when going to Japan, Mito Hollyhock still forced Cong Phuong to participate in a long cycle, to recover from injury and regain his form. According to Mito's plan, by the beginning of April, that process will be completed.

Due to injury, Phuong was allowed to stay home with his family during the recent Lunar New Year by Mito. However, up to now, Cong Phuong has not been able to play any matches for the J-League 2 club.
After 6 rounds, Mito Hollyhock is currently ranked 18th on the J-League 2 table with only 5 points.
However, at the injury examination yesterday morning, there was news that Cong Phuong still had not fully recovered from his injury and would have difficulty playing.
Really, I don't understand how Cong Phuong got injured in the end, is it serious or is there something hidden inside?
For example, Cong Phuong is not yet qualified to play for Mito, so the reason is hidden behind the injury? Or maybe the latest information about Phuong's injury is just a PR trick, continuing to heat up for the friendly match tomorrow morning?
Regardless, we still have to wait for this striker to take the field and watch him play to know the truth about Cong Phuong's "unique" injury.
