Midfielder from Hai Duong Nguyen Hoang Duc likely only suffered a minor injury to his left thigh, not affecting the ligaments.
After the match between Viettel and Thanh Hoa ended, the image of midfielder Nguyen Hoang Duc with a painful face made fans and supporters worried. The 25-year-old midfielder even needed the help of the coaching staff and teammates to be able to enter the training cabin area.
Hoang Duc's teammates, coach Thach Bao Khanh and his mother were also present to encourage him. Through the camera angles, it can be seen that Hoang Duc's injury is most likely just a minor scratch on his knee.
Sharing with reporters after the match, assistant coach Nguyen Hai Bien said that it is highly likely that Hoang Duc only suffered a soft tissue injury after the fierce collision with Trinh Van Loi.
The former "captain" of Viettel Club also revealed that the 25-year-old midfielder's injury was in the left knee area. Fortunately, it was not related to the ligaments. It is likely that this collision only left bruises on Hoang Duc's leg.
In addition, in the post-match press conference, coach Thach Bao Khanh said that Hoang Duc may not have suffered any ligament-related injuries: “Hoang Duc needs to be examined, hopefully it is not too serious, because he can still walk after a knee injury. I have experience with knee injuries, having to undergo surgery twice, if the ligament is torn, he will not be able to walk.”
