Doctor Pham Quoc Hung, who directly operated on the former central defender of the Vietnam U.23 team, said: "Vu Tien Long's injury is quite serious, he has a torn lateral meniscus and a completely torn anterior cruciate ligament, so he has to undergo surgery.
Fortunately, after more than 1 hour, the surgery was successful. At the moment, he is in the recovery room. However, the former center-back who won the 2022 Southeast Asian U.23 Championship, Vu Tien Long, will have to stay off the field for 8-9 months."
When will the trauma ever end?

This is not the first time a player has suffered a knee injury due to the bad grass at My Dinh Stadium. In fact, Vu Dinh Long is the fourth player to suffer a knee injury on this "dangerous" turf in less than a week.
Previously, HAGL Club had 3 players with knee injuries including Jairo, Dinh Lam and especially central defender Pham Ly Duc who had to rest for 5-6 weeks after the match here, in the quarter-finals of the National Cup with The Cong Viettel Club on March 30.
Coach Van Sy Son lamented: "The grass at My Dinh Stadium is too bad, the uneven and bumpy surface can easily lead to injuries for the players. With such quality of grass, it will be very dangerous for the players to play.
After this surgery, Tien Long will have to sit out until the end of the first half of next season. Quang Nam FC is facing difficulties but will try to "patch up the gap" to fill the gap. But seeing Tien Long having to undergo surgery like this, I feel very sorry and disadvantaged for him."
V-League Organizing Committee's drastic move
A representative of the V-League Organizing Committee said: "The Organizing Committee has warned and continuously coordinated with the Organizing Committee of the match of The Cong Viettel Club in improving the quality of the field.
We have also done this with Quy Nhon Binh Dinh Club or Hong Linh Ha Tinh . Currently, we are still closely monitoring and urging the match organizers and the clubs to further improve the quality of the playing field. If the maintenance and upgrading plan of the match organizers and The Cong Viettel Club is not guaranteed, the tournament organizers will be forced to take stronger and more drastic actions. "If nothing changes, The Cong Viettel's home matches from now until the end of the season will be moved to Hang Day Stadium. The final match will be played at Lach Tray Stadium - Hai Phong.
