Van Hau only has a minor muscle strain.

Doan Van Hau's injury is not serious and will not affect coach Mano Polking's plans for CAHN at all.

Van Hau's injury is not serious after he had to leave the field on a stretcher.

Specifically, in the 56th minute of CAHN's 3-2 victory over Ninh Binh in Round 12 of the V.League 2025/26 on February 1st, Doan Van Hau suffered an injury and had to leave the field on a stretcher, much to the concern of the coaching staff and fans. This is because, in the past, the player from Thai Binh has faced several serious injuries that have significantly impacted his career.

However, unlike previous occasions, Van Hau's condition this time is not too serious. According to Tri Thuc – Znews' investigation, Van Hau only suffered a mild muscle strain. This is positive news for the 1999-born player personally as well as for CAHN.

However, Van Hau's participation in the match against Tampines Rovers at the Southeast Asian Club Cup is still not guaranteed. Coach Mano Polking confirmed that Van Hau and several other players will have to undergo thorough fitness and condition checks before a final decision is made.

CAHN's caution is understandable. Van Hau was once an irreplaceable link on the left flank of the Vietnamese national teams under coach Park Hang-seo. Not only strong defensively, the defender from Thai Binh also created great value in attack thanks to his superior ability to overlap, cross, and win one-on-one challenges. At times, he was even deployed as a left-sided center-back in a three-center-back system, demonstrating his rare versatility.

However, since that peak period, Van Hau's career has been constantly interrupted by injuries. The prolonged treatment periods caused him to miss many important tournaments, lose his rhythm, and often have to start from scratch. Therefore, every time Van Hau faces fitness issues, his club and fans are particularly worried.
