In addition, Dinh Trong is also not on the list of players preparing for the 2019 Asian Cup finals. The central defender who played very well at the 2018 AFF Cup suffered a relapse of his broken metatarsal and ankle injuries.
National team player Nguyen Trong Hoang attended the training session this morning (December 26) but only did a light warm-up because he has an anterior cruciate ligament injury in his knee. The injury of "cow" Hoang is not too serious so coach Park Hang-seo decided to keep him.
Before that, he was worried that he might not be able to participate in this tournament because of injury.
According to the plan, the Vietnamese team will train in Qatar for 8 days with 24 players. On December 31, the team will play a friendly match with the Philippines and finalize the list of players for the 2019 Asian Cup./.
