Goalkeeper Tran Nguyen Manh was injured in the match against Tampines Rover in the group stage of the AFC Cup 2018 on February 10. SLNA Club sent someone to stay and take care of the goalkeeper born in 1991. It was not until today that he was able to go under the knife. Coach Nguyen Duc Thang said that the surgery was successful and tomorrow, February 13, Nguyen Manh will fly back to Vietnam to rest.
SLNA Club had to cover all the costs for this surgery and fortunately, after the injury, Nguyen Manh was taken to a hospital with modern medical conditions in Singapore. Coach Nguyen Duc Thang said: “Although the cost of treatment for athletes at Singapore hospitals is very expensive, SLNA Club will cover all the costs of treatment at the hospital and the entire recovery process. Because SLNA did not have a player insurance package when competing in the AFC Cup 2018, SLNA will be the unit that covers all those costs.”
According to SLNA head coach, goalkeeper Nguyen Manh suffered 2 broken bones and fortunately his left arm was not broken. According to doctors, to recover almost normally, Nguyen Manh needs at least 6 months, and to return to training depends on many other factors. Thus, SLNA will definitely lose Nguyen Manh in the first leg of V.League 2018.
Nguyen Manh's Nghe An team will have their last training session tomorrow morning (February 13) and return to training on the second day of Tet to prepare for the National Super Cup match against Quang Nam on February 24 at Hang Day Stadium. At that time, SLNA's coaching staff will definitely have to choose one of the three goalkeepers Le Van Hung, Le Quang Dai or Tran Van Tien to put on gloves and stand in the goal./.
