After 2 matches at the National Cup, SLNA became a miniature 'hospital'
(Baonghean.vn) - Having only played 2 matches in the National Cup against Binh Dinh and Ba Ria - Vung Tau, the Nghe An team has received new injuries right before the match against SHB Da Nang in the upcoming round 3 of V.League 2020.

One of SLNA's biggest losses at this time is captain Hoang Van Khanh. After a collision with Alagie Sosseh in a training session preparing for the match against Ba Ria - Vung Tau, he suffered a knee injury and had to leave the field. The player born in 1995 could not play in the match for a ticket to the Quarterfinals, forcing the use of the central defender pair The Nhat - Ba Sang.
Also in that match, Cao Xuan Thang was tackled by a BR-VT player and injured his knee. He immediately collapsed and had to be bandaged and given first aid. According to the initial diagnosis, the 1993-born midfielder of SLNA suffered a knee injury and will have to rest for a long time.

Today (June 1), these players must go to Hanoi to check the exact extent of their injuries. In addition to these two players, midfielder Bui Dinh Chau also suffered a wound on his forehead and had to play with a white bandage throughout the match against Ba Ria - Vung Tau.
Up to now, SLNA is still waiting for the return of Pham Xuan Manh. It is expected that after another month, he will be able to practice and compete again. Although Xuan Thang and possibly Van Khanh are absent, fortunately, the return of Phan Van Duc at this time is a consolation for Nghe An fans.
