Ho Tan Tai is absent from 2 final matches, Vietnam team is tense

Ho Tan Tai says goodbye to AFF Cup 2024

Ho Tan Tai's unfortunate injury

In the final minutes of the second leg of the semi-final between Vietnam and Singapore at Viet Tri Stadium, Ho Tan Tai rushed forward to receive the ball and turned around to eliminate his opponent, but suddenly collapsed without colliding with anyone.

Doctors immediately entered the field to take care of the right-back of Binh Duong Club, before he painfully held his face and left the field on a stretcher, to the extreme concern of his teammates and the coaching staff of the Vietnamese team.

Initial examination results showed that Ho Tan Tai's injury was quite serious, with signs of ligament damage. Coach Kim Sang-sik directed the medical team to take the 1997-born player for an MRI tomorrow morning, December 30.

The exact results will be announced on December 30, but it is a pity that the AFF Cup 2024 ended early with Ho Tan Tai, who stood out thanks to his ability to cross the ball and score goals.

Stretch yourself to adapt to the competition schedule

The Vietnamese team is straining before the harsh schedule of the AFF Cup 2024.

Ho Tan Tai will be the second player of the Vietnamese team to be injured and unable to continue playing, but will have to cheer on his teammates after Van Toan's case after the 5-0 victory over Myanmar to close the group stage.

Also in the match on December 29, Van Thanh was injured after a collision with a Singaporean player while Xuan Manh suffered a slight muscle strain and both had to leave the field early.

This shows that the Vietnamese team is having to work hard in a very tight schedule at the AFF Cup 2024. In particular, the injuries of Tan Tai, Van Thanh and the health condition of Xuan Manh will force coach Kim Sang-sik to have a headache with the personnel problem on both sides.

Looking more broadly, the team of doctors and assistant coaches of the Vietnamese team will have to work at full capacity to help the players recover before entering the two final matches on January 2 and 5, 2025.
