Because center back Igor Jelic was injured in the match against Hai Phong, SLNA was forced to make adjustments to foreign players. Specifically, striker ilipe Martins will be the one temporarily registered to replace center back Igor Jelic. According to the investigation, this is only a temporary addition. Because from now until the mid-season transfer period ends (from April 26 to May 23), SLNA can change its mind.
Specifically, Felipe Martins can be chosen to replace any of the three current foreign players including Bruno Henrique, Igor Jelic or Peter, not by default replacing only Jelic like now. That also makes Bruno Henrique and Peter have to try hard if they do not want to become SLNA's "scapegoat".
Filipe Martins has arrived in Thanh Hoa to join the team.SLNA. In the past time, this player has been practicing regularly in Ho Chi Minh City, waiting for the opportunity to compete again in V.League. Thus, SLNA can compete with 3 foreign strikers. The injuries of Van Khanh and Igor Jelic have caused the Nghe An team to fall into a serious shortage of central defenders, currently only Pham The Nhat and Thai Ba Sang remain.
The match between Thanh Hoa and SLNA will take place at 5:00 p.m. on May 2.
