On January 14, Ho Tan Tai had surgery on his ligament, still choosing the right hospital.

Ho Tan Tai re-examines his injury

In the second leg of the AFF Cup 2024 semi-final on December 29, 2024, between Vietnam and Singapore, Ho Tan Tai suffered a knee ligament injury after trying to control and shoot. On the morning of December 30, 2024, he was taken for a check-up and doctors diagnosed that the defender only had a contusion of the ligament, not a rupture, and did not require surgery. This injury takes 6 to 8 weeks to fully recover.

However, that result was inaccurate because Tan Tai's muscles were still tense after the match. On the morning of January 13, 2025, the player from Binh Dinh went for an X-ray and re-examination of his knee. This time, the doctors said that the defender born in 1997 needed surgery due to a partial tear of the ligament in his right knee. He will need about 9 months to be able to return to the field.

Surgery location not yet finalized

Tan Tai is expected to undergo surgery on the morning of January 14. The Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) wants the defender to undergo surgery at Vinmec in Hanoi, where striker Nguyen Xuan Son is currently being treated and recovering. Meanwhile, Binh Duong Club has requested that Tan Tai undergo surgery in Ho Chi Minh City to facilitate his recovery from the injury.

If the surgery is performed in Ho Chi Minh City, the surgeon for Tan Tai will also be a highly skilled doctor, who has operated on national players such as Do Hung Dung, Doan Van Hau... VFF and Binh Duong Club will work together to soon agree on the best treatment plan for Tan Tai, so that this player can return to the field as soon as possible. According to Thanh Nien Newspaper's research, the possibility of this defender having surgery in Ho Chi Minh City is higher.
