(Baonghean.vn) - Difficulties piled up for SLNA in round 11 when the Nghe An team could not have the services of captain Que Ngoc Hai and Hoang Van Khanh for different reasons.

Center back Hoang Van Khanh suffered a serious injury in the match at Pleiku against HAGL in the previous round. The SLNA player had to get 15 stitches on his forehead and could not return to play in round 11 in the away match against SHB Da Nang.

In addition, captain Que Ngoc Hai also had to sit out this round because he had received enough cards (3 yellow cards). Thus, SLNA's defense lost 2 of its best young central defenders.

Currently, SLNA still has 2 central defenders, Pham The Nhat and Pham Manh Hung. However, Manh Hung's performance is a big question mark, he was the player who made a direct mistake leading to the home team's loss in the previous match against Hanoi.

In the previous round, SHB Da Nang also failed to win and successfully held XSKT Can Tho to a 0-0 draw away from home. However, if they do not play with more than 100% determination, the Nghe An team will continue to face difficulties, even though coach Duc Thang and his team had previously defeated this opponent in the first and second legs of the National Cup quarter-finals.

The match between SHB Da Nang and SLNA in round 11 of V.League will take place at 5:00 p.m. on June 3 at Hoa Xuan Stadium./.
