Central defender Hoang Van Khanh suffered another injury to his forehead after an aerial challenge in the first half. The 1995-born SLNA player had his head bandaged by the medical team to stop the bleeding before he could continue playing.
Previously, in the first leg match, the SLNA center-back also suffered a serious injury to his forehead after an aerial challenge and had to have 15 stitches.
Defender Pham Xuan Manh, in an attempt to intercept the ball, also had to leave the field on a stretcher, causing great concern among Nghe An fans as the time for the Olympic team to prepare for the Asian Games is fast approaching. The U23 Vietnam player was the one who increased the score to 2-0 for SLNA with a close-range header.
This morning, according to information from SLNA Club's medical team, center-back Hoang Van Khanh only suffered a minor tear and it's nothing to worry about. As for Pham Xuan Manh, after this match, he only sprained his ankle and his recovery time is much faster than with a sprained ankle.
In their next match, SLNA will travel to face FLC Thanh Hoa in the first leg of the National Cup semi-final on July 25th.
