Tran Phi Son suffered a partial tear of the ankle ligament. Initially, the midfielder planned to go to Korea to have surgery there. However, during a visit to Singapore, following the advice of doctors, the 27-year-old decided not to go under the knife, but instead to recover with physical therapy.
