SLNA receives good news before V.League match day
(Baonghean.vn) - Despite the regrettable 0-1 defeat at Bung Karno Stadium of Persija Jakarta, coach Duc Thang can be completely assured about his team's strength before the match against S. Khanh Hoa BVN in round 2 of V.League 2018.

To have the best preparation for the match taking place on March 18, the Nghe An team kept key players such as Que Ngoc Hai, Ho Khac Ngoc, Phan Van Duc and Michael Olaha at home. Midfielder Pham Xuan Manh also had enough energy when he only entered the field from the second half of the match against Persija.
Not long ago, goalkeepers Le Van Hung and Tran Van Tien both suffered injuries of varying degrees. And up to now, SLNA's second goalkeeper, Van Hung, has fully recovered and can play. In addition, midfielder Vo Ngoc Toan also said that he is ready to play after his heel injury has healed.
Not only that, in the reception of S. Khanh Hoa BVN, SLNA will introduce the foreign striker that they have been trying out for a long time, Osmar Francisco. The worry of "handicapping" foreign players in the V.League arena is no longer present for Nghe An fans.
In the match against Persija, SLNA also witnessed the strong return of defender Tran Dinh Hoang. The former national player had his second match back on the field and gradually regained his composure after more than a year of absence. When Dinh Hoang can play, SLNA's coaching staff will no longer have to arrange Xuan Manh to play as a defender but can play as an attacking midfielder with Van Duc.
Except for Nguyen Manh, the only SLNA player who is injured and is doubtful of playing in the match against S. Khanh Hoa BVN is defender Pham Manh Hung. Thus, the Nghe An team, after 4 matches of AFC Cup 2018, is ranked first in Group H and has had quite good preparation for the V.League front.
