Ho Tuan Tai becomes the most unlucky player of Vietnam National Team
(Baonghean.vn) - The former SLNA striker's return to the national team was not complete when he suffered a serious injury and had to leave the field in the 7th minute of the friendly match between the Vietnam national team and U22 Vietnam on the evening of December 23.
Although he joined the national team 3 years ago, this is the first time striker Ho Tuan Tai has been called up by coach Park Hang-seo. This time, Tuan Tai is very eager to find his image again in the national team's shirt. However, luck has not been on his side.
In the 7th minute of the match at Cam Pha Stadium, Tuan Tai turned around to escape Huynh Cong Den's pressure in the midfield area. However, the pitch was not secure, Tuan Tai's turning around was wrong when his supporting foot did not land well and made him lie on the field holding his face in pain.

After receiving first aid from Dr. Choi Ju-young, the 25-year-old player was replaced by assistant Lee Young-jin with striker Ha Duc Chinh. According to initial assessment, the player of Ho Chi Minh City Club sprained his ankle. This injury will take about 3-4 weeks to recover.
With a serious injury on the evening of December 23, Tuan Tai is likely to miss the rematch between the two teams in 4 days at Viet Tri Stadium (Phu Tho). Not only that, Tuan Tai is also at risk of missing the opening match of V.League 2021 in the new team's jersey.
