The Vietnamese team was forced to say goodbye to striker Nguyen Cong Phuong because this striker has not recovered from a foot liver injury.
Cong Phuong will be allowed to return to the club for further treatment, and it is expected that he will take him 2 weeks to recover from this injury.
This is a regrettable thing for Cong Phuong because he has also been absent from the national team for nearly 2 years.
This time the striker from Nghe An is expected a lot, but the injury has caused Cong Phuong to continue to miss the appointment with the Vietnam national team.
Not only Cong Phuong, the Vietnamese team will also face anxiety in the attack when coach Kim Sang-sik cannot have the best names in hand.
Mr. Kim Sang-sik shared: "Cong Phuong was first called up under me but unfortunately suffered an injury and was forced to leave the national team.
This is a big loss because his experience is very useful for the match against Malaysia. However, with the remaining 23 players, the whole team will continue to improve their playing style, preparing best for the next match.
In this training session, the Vietnam national team's strikers are missing quality names such as Van Toan, Xuan Son, Vi Hao due to injury.
Meanwhile, Tien Linh and Tuan Hai also went through a period of time when they were not really at their best.
The name was called by the Korean strategist to replace Cong Phuong and Quoc Viet from the U22 Vietnam team. Of course, this is also a temporary solution.
The other striker, Dinh Thanh Binh, is not really more outstanding than the other names.
The Vietnamese national team's attack has lost quality names at the moment, so Mr. Kim is forced to "competate with chopsticks and choose the flagpole". In return, the Vietnamese team has an extremely stable defense.
In addition, the presence of naturalized striker Cao Pendant Quang Vinh will also bring many safe options in front of the Vietnam national team's goal.
The match between the Vietnamese and Malaysian teams will take place at 8:00 p.m. (Vietnam time) on June 10 at Bukit Jalil Stadium.
