A series of SLNA players were injured before the match with Hai Phong.

In the match against Nam Dinh in round 18, SLNA had only 16 players traveling to Thien Truong as Phan Van Duc, Le Van Hung, and Vo Ngoc Duc were receiving treatment for injuries at the PVF Football Center. In addition, Cao Xuan Thang and Le The Cuong were also injured and could not participate.

However, in the defeat at Thien Truong Stadium, Pham Xuan Manh sprained his ankle and joined SLNA’s “injured” list. Xuan Manh’s recovery time is about 2 weeks and he will miss the match against Hai Phong on August 11.

In the recent 3-1 victory over Viettel at Vinh Stadium, SLNA also paid a heavy price when midfielder Quang Tinh and central defender The Nhat were injured and could not continue playing. It is likely that these two players will have to watch the upcoming match against Hai Phong.

The growing list of injuries has given SLNA’s coaching staff a headache in terms of personnel. Pham The Nhat is the player chosen to play alongside Damir Memovic in recent matches. Meanwhile, Quang Tinh is the player who has created a breakthrough and has scored 3 goals so far.

In another development, yesterday, midfielder Phan Van Duc and national team player Tran Dinh Trong went to Singapore for a re-examination. The recovery of these two players is progressing well according to the treatment regimen. After the re-examination, these players will continue to return to PVF to recover.
