Recently, coach Kim Sang-sik has continuously received bad news about the Vietnam team.
Accordingly, the two central defenders Bui Hoang Viet Anh (Hanoi Police) and Nguyen Thanh Binh (The Cong Viettel) could not gather due to injury, forcing Mr. Kim to add two other defensive players, Pham Ly Duc (Hoang Anh Gia Lai) and Dang Van Toi (Hai Phong).
In fact, this is not Mr. Kim's best choice, because Ly Duc has just returned from injury treatment, and Van Toi does not have much experience playing for the national team.
On the attack line, coach Kim Sang-sik also faced another headache when striker Nguyen Tien Linh also had physical problems.
In the make-up match between Binh Duong and Hanoi Police (30.):), Tien Linh appeared on the bench, not wearing slippers but only normal sneakers. After the match, coach Nguyen Anh Duc revealed that the striker born in 1997 was injured.
In the context of Xuan Son and Vi Hao's long-term absence, Tien Linh and Tuan Hai received great expectations from fans, in addition to Cong Phuong's return. However, in this situation, coach Kim Sang-sik was forced to make more appropriate calculations and wait for Tien Linh to recover in a short time.
Most likely, after joining the Vietnam national team, Tien Linh will be checked for health and have a specific conclusion.
In addition, in the midfield, midfielders Quang Hai and Cao Pendant Quang Vinh may have a break or a few light practice days. Previously, this duo "plowed" with high intensity in the V.League and Southeast Asian Cup C1.
If overloaded, Quang Hai and Quang Vinh also have the potential risk of injury.
