Song Lam Nghe An paid a heavy price after drawing with Quang Ninh

Preparing for the match against Than Quang Ninh, goalkeepers Le Van Hung, Ho Phuc Tinh, Cao Xuan Thang and Le The Cuong all had different health problems. Especially the absence of key midfielder Phan Van Duc. Therefore, coach Duc Thang arranged Ho Tuan Tai to play as a winger.

At Cua Ong Stadium, after a rather energetic first half, Ho Tuan Tai had to leave the field in the 40th minute after a collision. The young SLNA player had to be carried off on a stretcher and was diagnosed with a ligament problem.

"According to the initial diagnosis, Tuan Tai has a sprained ligament. He is currently in Hanoi for X-rays and to check the extent of the injury. With such severity, the player born in 1995 will be absent for at least 2-3 months," said a source from the Nghe An club.

In addition, at the end of the match, goalkeeper Nguyen Manh also had a problem with his left wrist and signaled to be substituted due to overload. This goalkeeper's left arm, which was broken a year ago, has not yet fully recovered. The SLNA captain said that his left wrist is still quite weak and his ability to play in the upcoming match against B. Binh Duong is still uncertain.

So at this time, SLNA has 3 players being examined and treated for injuries in Hanoi: defender Pham Xuan Manh, midfielder Phan Van Duc and striker Ho Tuan Tai. SLNA is waiting for striker Phuc Tinh and goalkeeper Van Hung to recover in time to welcome B. Binh Duong at Vinh Stadium on March 7.
