Former V-League champion worried as key playmaker suffers injury

After a narrow 2-3 defeat to Hanoi FC at their home ground Go Dau, Becamex TP.HCM’s coach Dang Tran Chinh openly revealed his worries facing the squad challenge. The ongoing injuries to key players, especially central midfielder Vo Hoang Minh Khoa, have caused him headaches amid the increasingly tense V-League season.

Minh Khoa, who was the hero in the 2-1 win over Nam Dinh in round 7, has suffered a severe injury.

The 2001-born player was diagnosed with approximately a 3/4 tear of the knee ligament and may have to miss at least a month of play, possibly requiring surgery if recovery is not satisfactory.
