U19 SLNA defender receives treatment for injury at PVF Center

Tran Quoc Thanh once participated in the Youth - Children Football Tournament of Nghe An Newspaper Cup in the Thanh Chuong youth team. After that, he was selected to join the SLNA training center and was one of the most prominent faces of U13 SLNA, winning the national youth football tournament - U13 National Finals in 2013.

Tran Quoc Thanh's excellent performance has been recognized by experts and fans of Nghe An province that he will go far.

In the U19 SLNA jersey, Quoc Thanh continued to play brilliantly, helping SLNA win the Bronze Medal at the 2019 National U19 Finals held at Pleiku Stadium (Gia Lai). At that tournament, Tran Quoc Thanh was arranged by coach Nguyen Van Tien to play as a full-back while his usual position was midfielder or striker. However, he still played excellently, played a good defensive role and scored the winning goal 2-1 for U19 SLNA in the opening match against U19 B.Binh Duong. In that goal, Tran Quoc Thanh had a speedy dribble that eliminated a series of U19 B.Binh Duong players, before defeating the opposing team's goalkeeper with a skillful outside-of-the-cheek flick.

Tran Quoc Thanh's brilliant performance in the SLNA U19 jersey helped the Thanh Chuong player win a place in the Vietnam U19 selection. With impressive performances at the 2019 Thanh Nien Newspaper International U19 Tournament, held at 19/8 Stadium (Nha Trang - Khanh Hoa), Tran Quoc Thanh was called up by Coach Hoang Anh Tuan to the Vietnam U18 squad to prepare for a friendly tournament in Hong Kong (China). Unfortunately, the left-back of SLNA U19 was eliminated due to injury and required long-term treatment.

At PVF Center, Tran Quoc Thanh is sharing a room with two senior players from SLNA's first team, Vo Ngoc Duc and Le Van Hung. According to the original plan, Quoc Thanh would have to have surgery to repair the ligament in his right knee. However, his injury healed quickly and he only had to practice rehabilitation without needing surgery.

Hopefully, Tran Quoc Thanh will recover quickly to return to the field soon./.
