Foreign player Osmar joins SLNA in Da Nang

Having joined the Nghe An team since the beginning of the season, but up to this point, foreign player Osmar Francisco has only played in 2 matches, contributed 1 goal and continuously sat out during SLNA's most difficult period.

A groin injury forced the Brazilian striker to sit out for nearly two months, forcing SLNA to play with only foreign player Olaha Michael in three tournaments: the AFC Cup, the National Cup and the V.League.

Before the away match against SHB Da Nang in the first leg of the 2018 National Cup quarterfinals, SLNA received good news when the player born in 1987 was able to practice again. Along with that was the case of midfielder Vo Ngoc Toan, goalkeeper Phan Dinh Vu Hai...

Many injured players have recovered, but the ability to play of the above players is still uncertain. Especially Vo Ngoc Toan, up to now SLNA's coaching staff does not dare to take risks when this player is not at his best.

Thus, SLNA's current injury list only includes goalkeeper Tran Nguyen Manh, midfielder Le Manh Dung and central defender Pham Manh Hung, who is sick after the match against Nam Dinh.

The match between SHB Da Nang and SLNA in the first leg of the National Cup quarter-finals will take place at 5:00 p.m. on May 11 at Hoa Xuan Stadium. The second leg will take place on May 15 at Vinh Stadium, after which coach Duc Thang and his team will visit defending champions Quang Nam in round 8 of the V.League./.
