In the most recent training session, Tran Phi Son sprained his ankle and will likely need 2-3 weeks to fully recover and return to the field. So, the Ha Tinh player will once again be absent from Ho Chi Minh City FC’s matches in the V.League this year.
Perhaps, Tran Phi Son is one of the most unlucky players in Vietnamese football in the past year. Since leaving SLNA to join Ho Chi Minh City Club (early 2018), this is the third time "Vietnam's Ronaldo" has been tormented by injuries.

The first time was in the match between Ho Chi Minh City FC and SLNA (a make-up match of round 1 of V.League 2018), the midfielder born in 1992 tore his knee ligament. As a result, Tran Phi Son had to "sit and watch" for more than a month, missing 4 matches of Ho Chi Minh City FC.
The second time an injury “visited” Tran Phi Son was during a training session of Ho Chi Minh City Club in mid-January. With an ankle injury, the former SLNA player almost had to go to Korea for surgery. However, after many examinations, the 27-year-old midfielder chose physical therapy instead of going under the knife.
It is worth mentioning that in the last 3 seasons playing for SLNA (2015 - 2017), Tran Phi Son did not suffer any serious injuries that prevented him from playing more than 2 consecutive matches. Clearly, the midfielder from Ha Tinh is going through difficult and unlucky days at Thong Nhat Stadium./.
