On the afternoon of November 28th, during a training session at Thong Nhat Stadium, midfielder Hoang Thinh suffered a recurrence of his groin injury while contesting the ball with Xuan Truong. The injury prevented him from continuing training and required medical attention.
Hoang Thinh's injury has recurred at a time when the Vietnamese national team's central midfield is already quite thin. Previously, another central midfielder, Tuan Anh, also suffered an injury and was unable to participate in the 2016 AFF Cup.
