Pham Xuan Manh and alternatives for Trong Hoang - Van Hau

On the morning of August 18, Trong Hoang went to the hospital to get an X-ray to check the injury that occurred in the match against Saigon. The Nghe An player suffered a torn muscle in the back of his left leg. Although he did not need surgery, he will have to rest for at least 1 month.

Thus, Trong Hoang cannot be present in the match against Hai Phong on August 24, round 22 of V.League and will not have the opportunity to participate in the match against Thailand on September 5 in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers in Asia.

Currently, the injury list of the Vietnam National Team before the 2022 World Cup Qualifiers has grown longer with the appearance of Phan Van Duc, Tran Dinh Trong, Doan Van Hau and Nguyen Trong Hoang.

Currently, this player born in 1996 has just fully recovered from the ankle injury he suffered in the match against Nam Dinh in round 18 of V.League and can play in SLNA's upcoming matches.

Remember at the 2018 AFC U23 Championship, when Doan Van Hau was injured, Pham Xuan Manh played very well in the left-back position that his junior left. The SLNA player is also a versatile player, able to play left-back, right-back, and even as a winger.

In the previous training session, Coach Park Hang-seo also recruited Dinh Viet Tu. The player from Quang Nam Club played quite consistently with good offensive and defensive abilities. In addition, some other options mentioned by experts are Nguyen Cong Thanh of Ho Chi Minh City Club or Ho Tan Tai of B. Binh Duong.
