The extent of Dinh Bac's injury is clear.

Dinh Bac does not have a serious injury problem, but will likely be rested by coach Kim Sang-sik in the match against U23 Cambodia.

According to Tri Thuc - Znews , striker Nguyen Dinh Bac did not suffer any serious injuries. After the match against U23 Laos on July 19, the CAHN player showed signs of overload. Luckily, he only suffered from muscle fatigue and was able to return to normal training to prepare for the match against U23 Cambodia.

In the afternoon practice session on July 20, Dinh Bac went out on the field and warmed up with the whole team. However, after only a few minutes, he stopped and switched to recovery exercises with the doctor. Before that, the Nghe An player started in the match against U23 Laos, leaving his mark with an assist in the 3-0 victory.

Although he is not suffering from a serious problem, Dinh Bac is unlikely to play in the match against U23 Cambodia on the evening of July 22. Coach Kim Sang-sik does not want to take risks with his important player when the semi-finals are so close. Instead, the Korean strategist wants to save the striker’s strength while taking advantage of the opportunity to test new formations and tactics.

Not using Dinh Bac in the match against U23 Cambodia does not cause too much concern for the coaching staff. U23 Vietnam currently has many quality attacking options such as Ngoc My and Viktor Le.

In addition, versatile players like Van Truong or Cong Phuong can be pushed up high if needed. The Cambodian opponent is not highly rated, so it is the right time for Mr. Kim to rotate his squad.

Against Cambodia, U23 Vietnam only needs one point to qualify for the semi-finals. However, the team's goal is still to win to maintain their momentum and confidence before entering the knockout round.
