SLNA foreign player out for 2 weeks due to Dinh Luat's tackle
(Baonghean.vn) - The violent and fearless playing style of Ho Chi Minh City Club has caused SLNA to continue to face a crisis in terms of personnel. The next case to have to retire is striker Olaha Michael.
In the 90th minute of the match between SLNA and TP HCM in the 1/8 round of the GQ Cup, central defender Truong Dinh Luat continued to leave an ugly match for the away team with a malicious tackle on foreign player Olaha. The opponent's tackle caused the Nigerian striker's left knee to swell and bleed.

When the match ended, this veteran defender also had some challenging words that almost made SLNA defender Que Ngoc Hai lose his composure. According to statistics, the away team committed 19 fouls in this match, with 5 yellow cards and 1 red card. In which, Sam Ngoc Duc received a red card (2 yellow cards) in the 70th minute after maliciously tackling Vietnam U23 star Phan Van Duc.
According to SLNA's doctor, striker Olaha Michael has a torn ligament in his right knee. With this injury, Olaha will have to rest for 2 weeks before he can move at high intensity. Thus, SLNA will not have Olaha's service in the match against Nam Dinh in round 7 of V.League taking place on May 4 at Vinh Stadium.
Michael Olaha has been the only choice for the Nghe An team during the past time when Osmar Francisco was injured. Besides, SLNA also has many other serious injuries such as Nguyen Manh, Ngoc Toan, The Cuong. In recent matches, Ngoc Hai, Dinh Hoang and Van Khanh are the players who had to play with white bandages on their heads./.
