Van Toan will soon say goodbye to AFF Cup 2024
In the 60th minute, Van Toan had a very strong collision with a Myanmar defender. Although he tried to continue playing, he was forced to signal to be substituted on a stretcher.
Tien Linh came on to replace Van Toan and scored 1 goal and 1 assist, contributing to the 5-0 victory over Myanmar, on the day rookie Xuan Son shone brightly with 2 goals and 2 assists.
This victory helped the Vietnamese team rank first in Group B with 10 points, and will meet Singapore in the semi-finals of the AFF Cup 2024, with the first leg at Jalan Besar on December 26 and the second leg at Viet Tri Stadium on December 29.
The Vietnam team will have to find a way to replace Van Toan.
Unfortunately, Van Toan will have almost no chance to play. Initial test results show that the striker of Nam Dinh Club has a knee injury, showing signs of ligament damage.
With this type of injury, in the context that the 2024 AFF Cup will end in about 2 weeks with the second leg final on December 5, Van Toan will no longer have a chance to compete.
This will pose a difficult problem for coach Kim Sang-sik as Van Toan, with his speed and ability to utilize space, is an important attacking option for the Vietnamese team.
