Ho Van Cuong is injured, likely to return in round 5
Before the match of round 4 of V-League 2024/25, Ho Van Cuong suffered a back injury, so he could not participate in the match against Nam Dinh. The defender born in 2003 has been able to practice again, most likely will be able to play in the match against Binh Dinh.
In the match of round 4 of V-League 2024/25,Lam River Nghe AnMeeting host Nam Dinh, right-back Ho Van Cuong could not play due to injury.
According to information obtained by Nghe An Newspaper reporters, during a gym session before the match with the reigning champion, the player born in 2003 suffered a ligament injury in his back.
After 4 days of rest and recovery, nowHo Van Cuongwas able to go out for light practice with the team. It is likely that this player will recover in time to compete when Song Lam Nghe An meets Binh Dinh in round 5.
Previously, Ho Van Cuong had spent a long time treating a leg injury. And only returned in round 2 of V-League 2024/25, but all came from the bench.
The absence of Ho Van Cuong in the squad is a big loss for the right wing of Song Lam Nghe An. Because, with his speed, ability to dribble and pass the ball, the U23 Vietnam player is the defender with the best ability to attack and defend for the Vinh team at the present time.
If Ho Van Cuong recovers in time for the next round, it will help Song Lam Nghe An have more options to attack on the right wing. And because of that, the Nghe An team will have a good chance to score points against the home team Binh Dinh.
Currently, after 4 rounds, Song Lam Nghe An has only 2 points and is temporarily at the bottom of the rankings. If the Nghe An team does not gain points in round 5, the situation will become very difficult for the goal of staying in the league this season.
Joining the youth training center of his hometown team Song Lam Nghe An in 2019 after being liquidated by PVF, Van Cuong quickly proved his ability and gained a solid position at the youth levels of the Nghe team. After an impressive performance at the 2021 National U-19 Championship, Van Cuong was named in the list of Song Lam Nghe An's first team to participate in V.League 2022. Right in his first season at the professional level, Van Cuong won the starting position at the club as a right-back and helped the home team finish 5th on the rankings. The following season, Ho Van Cuong was always a player in the main squad of Song Lam Nghe An. In the 2023/24 season, Ho Van Cuong was loaned from Song Lam Nghe An to Hanoi Police Club. Entering the 2024/25 season, the defender born in 2003 returned home to play for his home team.
Round 5 of V-League 2024/25, taking place on October 27, Song Lam Nghe An will be the guest against host Binh Dinh.
