Captain Tran Nguyen Manh broke his arm in the match against Tampines Rover on the opening day of the AFC Cup 2018, and goalkeeper Le Van Hung suffered a muscle strain, making it difficult for coach Nguyen Duc Thang to choose a goalkeeper for the match against Persija Jakarta this afternoon.
At the press conference, the Nghe An coach revealed: “In terms of force, SLNA has not reached 100%. Tomorrow's match, we will continue to be without goalkeeper Le Van Hung because this goalkeeper is suffering from a muscle strain, so the lineup may have many changes. Midfielder Vo Ngoc Toan is still undergoing treatment for an injury, so tomorrow he will continue to sit out.”
Although they successfully borrowed goalkeeper Phan Dinh Vu Hai from Hai Phong, this goalkeeper is still in the trial period and is not registered with AFC. Therefore, SLNA only has two options for the goalkeeper position: Tran Van Tien and Le Quang Dai. However, both of these goalkeepers do not have much playing experience.

According to the latest information, goalkeeper Tran Van Tien (born in 1994) will be in the starting lineup for the match against Persija Jakarta at Vinh Stadium this afternoon. This 1m84 tall goalkeeper was just promoted to the SLNA first team last season and this is his first official match.
And Le Quang Dai will be the reserve goalkeeper for Tran Van Tien in the match against the representative from Indonesia.
Not only are Nguyen Manh, Van Hung, and Ngoc Toan absent due to injury, SLNA also does not have the service of left-back Pham Manh Hung. Accordingly, Vo Ngoc Duc will continue to be the defender guarding the left wing./.
SLNA's starting lineup for the match against Persija Jakarta:
Tran Van Tien, Vo Ngoc Duc, Que Ngoc Hai, Hoang Van Khanh, Pham Xuan Manh, Pham Xuan Toan, Ho Sy Sam, Ho Khac Ngoc, Phan Van Duc, Michael Olaha, Ho Tuan Tai.
