Vietnam team received bad news before the gathering day
The Vietnam team received bad news when defender Bui Hoang Viet Anh was injured and could not recover in time.
Before the Vietnam National Team gathered to prepare for the LPBank Cup 2024 on the occasion of FIFA Days in September, coach Kim Sang-sik once again received bad news when defender Bui Hoang Viet Anh was injured and could not recover in time. The player summoned to replace Bui Hoang Viet Anh was Giap Tuan Duong.
According to information from the team doctors, Bui Hoang Viet Anh injured his cruciate ligament in the knee after the match with Buriram FC at the 2024 Southeast Asian Club Championship. With this injury, Bui Hoang Viet Anh needs time to recover, so he was forced to miss his teammates' appointment in this training session with the Vietnamese team.
Bui Hoang Viet Anh is also the second player who cannot join the national team due to injury. Before that, there was the case of striker Nguyen Van Toan with an ankle injury and he was replaced by Phan Van Duc.
To ensure the team's strength, coach Kim Sang-sik has called up young defender Giap Tuan Duong. This player, born in 2002, is playing for the Hanoi Police Club and is considered one of the most promising young faces as he can play well in the positions of central defender, left defender and midfielder. The last time Giap Tuan Duong was called up to the team was on FIFA Days in October 2023.
The Vietnamese team will start training tomorrow (August 30) at the Vietnam Youth Football Training Center. Coach Kim Sang-sik and his team will have 6 days to prepare for the opening match against the Russian team at the LPBank Cup 2024./.
