HAGL received bad news before the match against Saigon FC

At 6:00 p.m. on April 14, HAGL will travel to Thong Nhat Stadium to play away against Saigon FC in round 5 of V.League 2018. After 4 matches, the team from the Mountain City has 5 points and is temporarily ranked 9th on the rankings, while Saigon has only 1 point and is ranked 13th.

With the appearance of Technical Director Chung Hae Seong on the coaching bench and the return of captain Luong Xuan Truong, HAGL is the team that is rated higher in this match. However, Mr. Duc's team has suffered a loss in terms of personnel when some key players are injured.

HAGL has difficulty with personnel in the match this weekend.

Specifically, Chau Ngoc Quang suffered a sprained knee ligament in the 0-5 loss to Hanoi FC. The U23 Vietnam midfielder only played half the match before being replaced by Minh Vuong. According to HAGL's coaching staff, Ngoc Quang will be out of action for about 4 weeks.

HAGL will continue to be without A Hoang, the defender who suffered a back injury after the 3-2 win over Nam Dinh on April 1. In the match against Hanoi, A Hoang endured the pain to play but could only play for a few minutes before he could no longer withstand the back pain and had to leave the field before the first half ended.

Coach Duong Minh Ninh also continues to be unable to use Le Duc Luong because this defender is having problems with his groin. In addition, the team from the mountain town also 'lost' Tang Tien for a long time, due to the penalty of banning the first leg by Mr. Duc after this central defender had a rough tackle on Duy Manh.

The storm of injuries and penalties has prevented HAGL from having their strongest squad for the away match against the home team Saigon. Therefore, Technical Director Chung Hae Seong and Coach Duong Minh Ninh will have to make reasonable calculations if they want to score points against this tough opponent.
