SLNA's defense is missing 3 key players before the match against HAGL

(Baonghean.vn) - Welcoming HAGL in round 18 of V.League 2016, Coach Ngo Quang Truong once again faced a difficult problem in defense when all three names Minh Duc, Dinh Hoang and Manh Hung had to sit out.

In preparation for the important match against Hanoi T&T, it seemed that SLNA's coaching staff could breathe a sigh of relief for Dinh Hoang's injury when he was able to play again. However, after the intense match at Hang Day Stadium, SLNA's right-back had to stay in Hanoi to have his thigh injury checked again.

Along with Dinh Hoang, Minh Duc also suffered a similar injury. The veteran central defender of the Nghe An team said that he and Dinh Hoang will definitely have to sit out for quite a while to fully recover.

SLNA's defense is constantly unstable and chaotic due to the absence of key players due to injury.

Not only will Minh Duc and Dinh Hoang be absent, SLNA will also not have the service of central defender Pham Manh Hung due to card penalties when meeting HAGL at Vinh Stadium tomorrow. And even if he does not receive 3 yellow cards, the player born in 1993 will definitely not be able to play due to an ankle injury he suffered in the match against Hanoi T&T in the previous round. This is really a big loss for SLNA because in the past matches, Manh Hung has played well again and has limited many mistakes.

Thus, once again SLNA’s defense will have to play with a patchwork lineup. The burden at the center of the defense will once again fall on the shoulders of Que Ngoc Hai and Hoang Van Khanh. With Dinh Hoang’s absence, it is very likely that the contingency plan named Ho Sy Sam will once again be considered.

Meanwhile, on HAGL's side, the away team almost has the strongest lineup and the possibility of winning at Vinh Stadium tomorrow for coach Ngo Quang Truong and his team is more fragile than ever.
