Cong Vinh will be out of action for half a month.

Vietnam national team captain Le Cong Vinh has suffered a groin muscle injury and will be sidelined for about two weeks.

With Anh Duc withdrawing, Van Quyet suspended, and Mac Hong Quan injured, the Vietnamese national team faced a serious shortage of strikers. Therefore, despite being injured, Cong Vinh still tried to play in the matches against Taiwan (China) and Iraq in the second round of the 2018 World Cup qualifiers in the Asian region.

Returning from Iran, Cong Vinh resumed training with B-Binh Duong in preparation for their match against Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors in the fourth round of Group E of the AFC Champions League 2016.

Cong Vinh will be unable to train and play for B.Binh Duong for at least the next two weeks.

Overtraining has worsened the injury of the striker from Nghe An province. Yesterday, April 5th, Cong Vinh had to go for a check-up at the hospital. The results showed he had a torn groin muscle and will have to miss two weeks of play.

Cong Vinh will not be available for the match between B-Binh Duong and Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors this afternoon. Furthermore, he will also miss two of B-Binh Duong's V-League 2016 matches: an away game against Hanoi T&T in round 5 and a home game against Sanna Khanh Hoa in round 6.

Recently, Cong Vinh has been involved in a series of controversies due to his answers regarding Anh Duc's request not to join the Vietnamese national team and the incident where he and his wife, singer Thuy Tien, went to Thailand to film a commercial.

However, the Binh Duong management stated that everything has now been resolved satisfactorily.
