SLNA foreign player leaves open possibility of playing in match against Hai Phong

During SLNA’s training session two days before welcoming Hai Phong Club at Vinh Stadium, SLNA continued to witness various injuries. Players such as Le The Cuong, Pham Xuan Manh, Phan Van Duc, Le Van Hung and Vo Ngoc Duc could not return to practice.

Players Hoang Van Binh, Pham The Nhat, Nguyen Quang Tinh, and Cao Xuan Thang, although on the field, still have to practice separately. Their injuries are still painful and their ability to play is limited.

In addition, foreign striker Joel Vinicius was also absent from this afternoon's training session (August 9) due to a headache and a slight illness. The Brazilian player's ability to play is still a big question mark because there is only one more training session before the match takes place.

Difficulties are even more complicated for the home team in the match on Sunday when midfielder Khac Ngoc is absent due to suspension. Thus, SLNA only has 14 players and 3 goalkeepers who can register to play, the rest are absent for different reasons.

The match between SLNA and Hai Phong in round 20 of V.League 2019 will take place at 5:00 p.m. on August 11 at Vinh Stadium.
