First Division Round 4: Cong Phuong continues to be absent?

Cong Phuong is unlikely to be able to play when Dong Nai visits Long An in round 4 of the 2025/26 First Division.

In the 4th round of the First Division - Bia Sao Vang 2025/26, Dong Nai will be a guest on Long An 's field. The issue that many people are interested in the Southeast team is whether striker Nguyen Cong Phuong will play in this match or not.

Previously, due to injury, the striker born in 1995 was absent from the beginning of the season and had not played a single match for Dong Nai . After round 3 of the First Division, the teams had a half-month break, but it is likely that the former HAGL striker still has not recovered.

In the latest images of Dong Nai 's training sessions , Cong Phuong did not appear. In the video of the team marching to Long An Stadium on the afternoon of October 16, the striker from Nghe An was also absent.

Not having Cong Phuong is a big loss for coach Nguyen Viet Thang's team. However, Xuan Truong and his teammates still had a good start and were rated higher than Long An, very confident of winning on the away field.

After 3 rounds, Dong Nai is currently leading the rankings with 7 points (2 wins, 1 draw). In the next positions are Khanh Hoa (6 points), Quang Ninh (6 points)...

In round 4 of the First Division, Quang Ninh has a highly anticipated match with Khanh Hoa, while Coach Park Hang Seo's Bac Ninh Club meets Quy Nhon.
