In the 15th minute of the match, Thanh Trung - who is in impressive form for Ninh Binh - was kicked straight in the left shin by a Becamex TP.HCM defender while trying to fight for the ball.

The dangerous tackle left him lying on the field in pain and forced him to leave the field immediately. The Ninh Binh coaching staff were concerned that Trung might have broken his leg. However, after being taken to the hospital for examination, the initial diagnosis showed that Tran Thanh Trung only suffered a skin tear and needed 5 stitches.

According to the doctor, this young player born in 2000 will need to rest for about 7 days before returning to practice with his teammates.

This is good news not only for Ninh Binh Club but also for U.23 Vietnam, because Thanh Trung is on the preliminary list for SEA Games 33. With a not too serious injury, he can completely recover in time to participate in the journey to conquer the regional gold medal. Before leaving the field, Thanh Trung was one of the bright spots of Ninh Binh when he contributed to helping his team draw 1-1 with Becamex TP.HCM.
