In the match between Ha Tinh and Thanh Hoa in round 3 of V-League, in the 54th minute, Doan Ngoc Tan collided very hard with Nguyen Hoang Trung Nguyen and Joseph Onoja of the home team. The midfielder of Thanh Hoa Club collapsed on the field in pain, then left the field.

Doan Ngoc Tan was immediately taken to the hospital to check for injuries. Doctors informed that the Thanh Hoa Club player had 3 broken ribs, pleural effusion and needed surgery, and was expected to be out of action for a long time.

The loss of Ngoc Tan is a big loss for Thanh Hoa, in the context that this team cannot use foreign player Ribamar due to a muscle tear, while Mamadou Mbodj is not in good form.

Doan Ngoc Tan's injury also caused him to miss the Vietnam national team training session. Previously, in the team list, coach Kim Sang Sik called back the midfielder from the Thanh team after a long absence due to injury. It is currently unclear whether the Korean coach will call up anyone to replace the player born in 1994.

This is the second time in a row that Doan Ngoc Tan has suffered a serious injury. Previously, he broke his fibula while training with Thanh Hoa Club and had to sit out the entire 2024/25 season.

Regarding the Vietnam national team training session, because coach Kim Sang Sik is busy leading the Vietnam U23 team to compete in the 2026 U23 Asian qualifiers at the same time, Acting Head Coach Dinh Hong Vinh will take charge of the national team. Quang Hai and his teammates will have 2 practice matches with CAHN Club (September 4) and Nam Dinh Blue Steel Club (September 7).
