Recently, Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc club posted a series of photos of the new year of the coaching staff and players. Accordingly, the team also welcomed the leaders of Binh Phuoc province to visit and wish them a happy new year.
Striker Nguyen Cong Phuong smiled and was excited when receiving lucky money. However, one detail about the Nghe An striker made fans worried.
Unlike his teammates who wore cleats to the training ground, Cong Phuong only wore a pair of normal training shoes. This revealed that he still had to practice separately and could not return with the team.
Most likely, the player born in 1995 will be absent in the match against Long An on February 9.
Previously, Cong Phuong was injured in the match against Dong Nam in the 6th round of the National First Division, which took place on January 19. In the 24th minute of the match, after a burst of speed, the Binh Phuoc striker suddenly stopped even though he did not collide with the opponent. He immediately signaled to be substituted.
According to research, Cong Phuong has a strained adductor muscle and will need about a month to recover and return to competition. Therefore, coach Nguyen Anh Duc needs to find a suitable replacement because Cong Phuong is the team's most effective striker at the moment.
In the 2024-2025 season, striker Nguyen Cong Phuong scored 6 goals for Binh Phuoc after 7 appearances, including 4 goals in the First Division and 2 goals in the National Cup.
In the last 2 matches without Cong Phuong, the representative of the Southeast region only got 1 point against the bottom team Dong Nai and won by a narrow margin against Dong Thap thanks to the opponent's individual mistakes.
