Hot: Thanh Chung injured, Minh Vuong received a wild card to attend Asiad?
Defender Thanh Chung's injury helped coach Park Hang Seo's favorite student from HAGL receive a wild card to join the national team right before the U23 Vietnam team left for the Asian Games...
From a dispute with Van Toan on the field during a training session at Go Dau on the afternoon of August 9, defender Thanh Chung was injured and could not complete the training session.
And on the morning of August 10, after being re-examined by doctors, Coach Park Hang Seo received bad news when Thanh Chung suffered a torn thigh muscle and could not recover in time for the upcoming matches at the Asian Games.

This unexpected situation forced the Korean coach to make the difficult decision to remove Thanh Chung from the list of players attending the Asiad and call back midfielder Minh Vuong.
However, recalling Minh Vuong will also help U23 Vietnam have a more vibrant midfield as the player from HAGL has always been highly appreciated in recent times.

According to the plan, U23 Vietnam will have only one more training session at home before leaving for the Asian Games on the morning of August 10. And coach Park Hang Seo and his colleagues hope that no more bad luck will happen as time is really running out...
This is a big challenge for coach Park Hang Seo as Thanh Chung is one of the ideal reserve players for the remaining defenders, as he can play many positions in defense...
