With another key player injured, Coach Troussier cannot finalize the team list to play Indonesia
(Baonghean.vn) - The fact that central defender Bui Hoang Viet Anh suffered a facial injury in the match against The Cong Viettel yesterday has added to the list of injured key players of the Vietnam National Team.
In the capital derby between Hanoi Police Club and Viettel The Cong, on the evening of March 9, in round 13 of V.League 2023/24, central defender Bui Hoang Viet Anh of the away team had a very strong collision with an opposing player and suffered bleeding in the mouth area. The referee temporarily stopped the match so that the doctor could come in to take care of the Vietnamese player.
After that, Viet Anh continued to play but due to the pain and heavy blood loss, the player of Hanoi Police Club was forced to leave the field and be taken to the hospital by ambulance. The player born in 1999 had to get 24 stitches, the necessary tests determined that he did not have a hard impact. Doctors advised Bui Hoang Viet Anh to rest so that the wound could heal quickly.
The fact that defender Viet Anh could not continue playing was a big loss for Hanoi Police, whose team later lost to The Cong Viettel with a score of 3-0.
More worryingly, this injury could cause Bui Hoang Viet Anh to miss the upcoming Vietnam national team training session, scheduled for March 13.
Thus, in two consecutive matches at Hang Day in round 13 of the V-League, two Vietnamese players had to be treated in emergency. Before that, striker Tuan Hai was kicked straight into the shin by player Tang Tien, causing him to sprain his ankle and have to rest for a month, meaning he will miss two matches between Vietnam and Indonesia in the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup in Asia.
Previously, a series of pillars of the Vietnam National Team were injured. Typically, midfielder Nguyen Tuan Anh (Hoang Anh Gia Lai) and Do Hung Dung (Hanoi) have been practicing recovery for nearly a month. Meanwhile, Que Ngoc Hai's injury has prevented him from announcing a return date.
Today (March 10), the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) has not announced the list of the Vietnam National Team to gather in March for the 2 matches against Indonesia in the 2nd qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup. Normally, the list will be released 1 day after the V-League round ends, but this time it cannot be done. The reason is that Coach Troussier needs to review the injury situation of the players at the club level on March 10.
It is expected that the list of Vietnam team will be announced tomorrow (March 11)./.
