Tuan Hai and Xuan Manh are injured, Coach Kim is worried

Tuan Hai was the player who scored the equalizer 1-1 for Hanoi , while Xuan Manh worked steadily on the left wing, helping the home team penetrate deep into the defense of Ho Chi Minh City Club. The dynamism of this duo helped the home team at Hang Day Stadium beat their opponents with a final score of 5-1.

However, in the first half, defender Xuan Manh was on the field twice, requiring the support of the medical team. At the beginning of the second half, coach Makoto decided to replace him with Vu Dinh Hai. Similarly, after scoring, Tuan Hai suffered a knee injury in a ball dispute in the 61st minute and also had to leave the field immediately.

Tuan Hai and Xuan Manh are both pillars of the Vietnamese national team under coach Kim Sang-sik. Both are candidates to be called up to the national team squad to prepare for the second round of the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers, against host Malaysia in June 2025.

The extent of the injuries to the two Hanoi FC players is still unknown, but it is easy to see the worry on coach Kim's face as he watched the match at Hang Day Stadium from the stands. The Vietnamese team is expected to gather in Hanoi from May 26.

Besides, Hanoi FC is in the stage of accumulating maximum points, competing for the V-League championship this season, so the loss of force on the way to the finish line is a worrying thing. The capital team is temporarily second in the rankings and is 5 points behind Nam Dinh when the V-League has only 3 more rounds to end.
