Nguyen Filip out of action for 2 months

Goalkeeper Nguyen Filip will be out for 2 months due to injury, missing all matches of CAHN and the national team.

Nguyen Filip will be out for eight weeks due to a groin injury.

According to Tri Thuc – Znews , on the morning of October 24, the CAHN medical department took Nguyen Filip for an injury check. Accordingly, the groin injury will require him about 8 weeks to recover. Currently, his X-rays will be sent to Singapore and the Czech Republic for further examination.

In the match against Macarthur in the AFC Champions League Two on the evening of October 23 at Hang Day Stadium, Nguyen Filip was withdrawn in the 72nd minute of the match due to injury. After the match, coach Polking said: “Two days before the match, Filip was still in pain, but I convinced him to play because of the importance of the match. However, the more he played, the more pain he felt, and by the 72nd minute he could not continue.”

Filip's absence has put CAHN in a difficult position, especially since his replacement, young goalkeeper Thanh Vinh, has not had much experience in the V.League or the international arena. The proof is that, just a few minutes after entering the field, Thanh Vinh conceded a goal from a dangerous header by Uskok of Macarthur. That situation caused CAHN to lose the victory and exposed a big worry in the goal.

In the coming time, CAHN will have to compete with a tight schedule in both V.League and two international tournaments. In which, the Public Security team will visit Buriram in the Southeast Asian Club Cup, then meet Macarthur and Beijing Guoan again in AFC Champions League Two. Nguyen Filip's absence greatly affects the ambition to go further of Coach Polking and his team.

In addition, with the need for time to recover, the goalkeeper born in 1992 will also definitely be absent from the FIFA Days in November of the Vietnamese team.
