Goalkeepers Vu Hai, Van Duc and Xuan Manh missed the match against Than Quang Ninh.
(Baonghean.vn) - Yesterday afternoon (September 15), the Nghe An team left early for Quang Ninh to prepare for the match at Cam Pha Stadium in round 23 of V.League 2018.
Coach Nguyen Duc Thang and his team traveled to Quang Ninh without the services of three key players: Phan Dinh Vu Hai, Phan Van Duc and Pham Van Manh. The SLNA goalkeeper was injured in the match against SHB Da Nang in round 22 at Vinh Stadium and will have to rest for at least a week.

Phan Van Duc's injury has shown positive progress, but in order to keep the midfielder born in 1996, coach Duc Thang decided to keep Phan Van Duc at home to have the best recovery. If everything goes smoothly, Phan Van Duc can return to play sooner than expected and be able to participate in the final matches of V.League 2018.
In addition, defender Pham Xuan Manh did not go with his teammates yesterday. He is in Hanoi to check on his fibula fracture. Thus, it is likely that goalkeeper Le Van Hung, Le The Cuong and defender Vo Ngoc Duc will be the ones chosen.
In round 23 of V.League, Than Quang Ninh also suffered a loss of force. Duong Van Khoa was the player who received an unjust red card in the match against B. Binh Duong in the last round. The match between Than Quang Ninh and SLNA will take place at 6:00 p.m. on September 18 and will be broadcast live on VTV6.

How did Phan Van Duc and Pham Xuan Manh work hard at SLNA and the national team?
(Baonghean.vn) - The 2018 season witnessed the remarkable progress of the duo Phan Van Duc - Pham Xuan Manh, but the two players of the Vietnam Olympic team also had to compete on too many fronts.
