Vietnam Olympic team captain suffers thigh injury

The injury suffered in the match against Olympic Indonesia leaves central defender Ngoc Hai's ability to play in the friendly match against Olympic Uzbekistan on March 14 uncertain.

The SLNA player was one of the most impressive faces in the 1-0 victory of the Vietnam Olympic team. However, due to exerting himself with the unhealed pain in his thigh, Ngoc Hai had to leave the field in the second half to make way for Manh Hung.

According to the initial diagnosis of the doctor after the match, the 1993-born midfielder suffered a thigh injury and will have to limit strenuous activities to recover. That also means that the possibility of Ngoc Hai being unable to participate in training and participate in the friendly match with Olympic Uzbekistan (March 14) is entirely possible.

SLNA’s central defender is one of two Vietnamese Olympic players injured in the match against Indonesia’s Olympic team, the other being defender Duc Luong. In Duc Luong’s case, Coach Miura can rest assured with alternative solutions. But in Ngoc Hai’s case, it will be difficult for the Japanese coach to find a more trustworthy face.

The player wearing the number 15 jersey was the only name that Coach Miura mentioned in the press conference with satisfaction. Not only did he play energetically and effectively, Ngoc Hai also showed maturity in the role of a leader. If he could not play, it would be a great loss for the Vietnam Olympic team.
