Phan Van Duc is at risk of missing the match against Saigon FC.
(Baonghean.vn) - Striker Phan Van Duc is at risk of missing the match against Saigon FC in round 4 of V-League 2022 after having to practice separately in the first training session to prepare for the upcoming match.
SLNA had a relatively good start to the season. After the first 3 rounds of V-League 2022, SLNA won 2 matches against Becamex Binh Duong and HAGL, and lost 1 match against Binh Dinh. With 6 points, SLNA is temporarily ranked 3rd on the rankings, equal to the 2nd ranked team Viettel but played 1 more match.
In round 4, SLNA will visit Saigon FC - the team currently ranked second to last with only 1 point after 2 matches. This is a good opportunity for SLNA to win another victory and continue to move up the rankings. At the moment, the Nghe An team is rated much higher than its opponent even though they have to play at Thong Nhat.

Yesterday afternoon, March 9, SLNA had a training session at Phu Tho Stadium - Ho Chi Minh City to prepare for this match. The atmosphere on the training ground was extremely cheerful, everyone was in a relaxed and excited state of mind. After warming up and getting used to the ball, SLNA divided into teams to play light matches in the middle of the field for a few minutes. Next, SLNA entered into tactical exercises.
At the end of the session, Coach Nguyen Huy Hoang focused on training his players on finishing. SLNA scored 4 goals in 3 matches - not a bad number but not good enough. The Nghe An team could have scored more goals if the strikers on the attack line had made the most of their scoring opportunities.
Notably, in this training session, striker Phan Van Duc had to practice separately. He only jogged to maintain his fitness and did not participate in the exercises according to the training plan of his teammates. Van Duc's face was quite tense.
In the match against HAGL on March 6, Van Duc scored a beautiful goal with a long-range shot from about 25m. However, immediately after scoring, Van Duc was taken off the field. Not to save energy for the next match, Van Duc suffered a muscle strain. He was forced to leave the field and has not yet practiced with the team.
This makes fans worried that Phan Van Duc may be absent from the upcoming match against Saigon FC. At the club, the Vietnamese national team striker is in good form with many impressive performances as well as beautiful goals.
The match between Saigon FC and SLNA will take place at 7:15 p.m. on March 13./.
