Striker Tuan Hai is seriously injured and cannot join the Vietnam team.
(Baonghean.vn) - Striker Pham Tuan Hai is seriously injured and cannot join the Vietnamese team to prepare for the match against Indonesia in the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup.
According to new information from the Capital football team, on the morning of March 9, striker Pham Tuan Hai was taken for a comprehensive check-up once again.
Accordingly, the doctor concluded: The 26-year-old striker suffered a ligament injury and sprained his right ankle, and this player needs to rest for at least 1 month before he can return to competition.
Thus, this will be a great loss not only for the capital team, but also for the Vietnamese team when the next matches of the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup are approaching.
Previously, on the evening of March 8, at Hang Day Stadium, Hanoi Club welcomed Quang Nam in round 13 of V.League. The home team dominated the game and scored 3 goals against Quang Nam in the first half.
The most notable situation happened in the 90+4 minute. When midfielder Tuan Hai was dribbling the ball towards the Quang Nam penalty area, defender Tang Tien from the away team approached and made a dangerous tackle. Tang Tien kicked Tuan Hai's shin, causing the midfielder of Hanoi FC to fall to the ground and appear to be in great pain.
The Hanoi team doctors immediately entered the field to check the striker born in 1998. Very quickly, the level of Tuan Hai's injury was considered dangerous and he had to leave the field. After that, the Hanoi player was taken by ambulance to the hospital for examination.
On March 13, the Vietnamese team will gather to prepare for two matches against Indonesia in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. The absence of Tuan Hai is a huge loss for the Vietnamese team./.
