SLNA no longer has foreign players to compete in XSKT Can Tho?
(Baonghean.vn) - SLNA's attack is heavily dependent on the performance of striker Olaha Michael in both the V.League and AFC Cup arenas. However, in the away match against XSKT Can Tho, the Nghe An team will likely have to play with 100% domestic players.
Striker Olaha Michael unfortunately suffered an Achilles injury in the hard-fought 2-1 win over Tampines Rovers in the final round of the 2018 AFC Cup. The Nigerian player scored the opening goal to help his team earn 3 points and maintain their hopes of advancing.

The injury forced the player born in 1997 to sit out recent training sessions. Today (April 12), Olaha and his teammates still traveled to Ho Chi Minh City to prepare for the match against XSKT Can Tho on April 15. However, the striker shared: "My heel is quite painful and the possibility of playing in the match is still open. I am really worried."
On April 12, coach Duc Thang and his team traveled to the South to prepare for a very difficult away trip to the team from the Western Capital. XSKT Can Tho currently has 7 points after 2 wins, 1 draw and is ranked 5th, only one win away from the top group.
Besides Olaha and Osmar, striker Ho Tuan Tai also suffered an injury and missed practice yesterday (April 11). Not only Olaha and Tuan Tai, SLNA has not had the service of its best defensive midfielder, Vo Ngoc Toan, for the past time. The coaching staff of the Nghe An team has had to use Manh Dung, Thanh Phong or Sy Sam for many consecutive matches to pair with Khac Ngoc./.
