(Baonghean.vn) - Midfielder Do Hung Dung will be discharged from the hospital in the next 1-2 days and begin his rehabilitation training; Coach Park Hang-seo and members of the national team's coaching staff attended a friendly match to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Vietnam Sports Day.
Hung Dung is about to be discharged from hospital
On the morning of March 24, Do Hung Dung underwent surgery after breaking his tibia and fibula. On March 25, Dr. Pham Quoc Hung, who performed the surgery,surgeryLet me start so Dung can practice gradually, practice lightly and increase gradually according to the lesson plan.
Doctor Hung told the press: “Hung Dung can be discharged in 1-2 days. Any injury requires rehabilitation exercises. Starting from March 25, I have let Hung Dung practice gradually, lightly and gradually increase according to the training plan. Because the method of performing the surgery is closed, the wound is not exposed. When the skin is cut to drill into the bone, only a small hole appears on the skin. Therefore, early training does not affect the wound much.
Normally, with intramedullary nailing surgery, patients need to have surgery to remove it after about 1 year. However, some patients are afraid of surgery, they accept to leave the nail in the leg, it is not required to be removed, but I advise patients to remove it after 1 year.

If he exercises well and has a good physique, after about 5-6 months, Hung Dung can practice more heavily. After that, Hung Dung's return to football depends on the exercises at that time."
