Goalkeeper Nguyen Manh practices lightly after injury
(Baonghean.vn) - After a period of treatment for a broken arm, SLNA captain goalkeeper Tran Nguyen Manh has gotten used to the first exercises in an effort to return to the field.
Goalkeeper Nguyen Manh suffered an injury in the opening match of the 2018 AFC Cup group stage when SLNA visited Tampines Rover (Singapore) on the afternoon of February 10. After undergoing surgery in Singapore and 2 months of abstinence, Nguyen Manh's hand injury has now healed.

Over the past week, the SLNA captain has started light exercises at the gym to gradually recover his physical strength. However, his left arm will still have to abstain from movement for about 4 more months before he can practice again. And if everything goes well, Nguyen Manh will still be able to participate in the final stage of V.League 2018.
Nguyen Manh said: “My injury is progressing normally, my left arm is still immobile and I have to practice moving my legs to prepare my physical strength for the post-recovery stage. Since the injury, my weight has increased but not significantly, about 1-2 kg. I will try my best to come back.”
Nguyen Manh's absence for most of this year's V.League season forced coach Duc Thang to add goalkeeper Phan Dinh Vu Hai from Hai Phong Club and after 2 matches, this goalkeeper is still meeting the requirements./.
