(Baonghean.vn) - V.League 2019 will officially kick off on February 23, 2019. However, after a year of intense competition, many players are being treated for injuries and have not been able to return to the field. This year, V.League 2019 will also not have the services of players who are playing abroad.
Center-back Dinh Trong had to undergo surgery to remove a small piece of broken bone near his ankle in Korea and will need about 1-2 months to return. This is the injury he suffered in the first leg of the 2018 AFF Cup final against Malaysia. This injury caused him to miss the opening day of the 2019 V.League and not be able to join the Vietnam U23 team in the 2020 U23 Asian qualifiers at the end of March. Photo: Archive
