(Baonghean.vn) - In SLNA's upcoming match in round 20 against Hai Phong, the Nghe An team will be missing many important players due to injuries and suspensions. The most recent is midfielder Ho Khac Ngoc.
After the 3-1 win over Viettel in round 19, SLNA’s injury list has reached an alarming level. In addition to long-term injured players such as Phan Van Duc, Le Van Hung, Vo Ngoc Duc, Pham Xuan Manh, Pham The Nhat, and Nguyen Quang Tinh have also suffered injuries.
SLNA Coaching Board is currently waiting for the recovery of Cao Xuan Thang and Le The Cuong. These two players were absent in the away match against Nam Dinh Club in round 18.

In round 20, SLNA will welcome Hai Phong Club at Vinh Stadium and this is the match where the Nghe An team continues to not have the strongest squad. According to the announcement from VPF, midfielder Ho Khac Ngoc will have to sit out this round because he has received 3 yellow cards.
Coach Nguyen Duc Thang is likely to be forced to play Van Binh - Ngoc Toan as central midfielders in the upcoming match. Besides, if Xuan Thang and The Cuong do not recover in time, SLNA will be left without a single winger. In recent matches, Sy Sam and Sy Nam were forced to play in the winger positions left by Van Duc and Xuan Manh.

If Xuan Truong and Tuan Anh are selected for the national team, will it be unfair to Khac Ngoc?
(Baonghean.vn) - There is information that Mr. Park will call up many players who have grown up from the HAGL JMG training center to prepare for the King's Cup, including two midfielders who are in poor form, Tuan Anh and Xuan Truong.
