According to the latest updates, midfielder Trần Thành Trung did not suffer a serious injury and can fully recover after one week of rest.
On the evening of November 1st, overseas Vietnamese midfielder Trần Thành Trung started for the second consecutive time for Ninh Bình Club. However, only 15 minutes into the match, the 2005-born player was harshly fouled and had to leave the field early. It is known that he was taken to the hospital for injury assessment.
After the match, coach Gerard Albadalejo expressed dissatisfaction with the foul committed by the Becamex TPHCM player. He stated: “After the game, the medical team will conduct an examination to determine the condition. From what we observed, the Becamex player made a very strong tackle causing Trung to injure his shin. The referee consulted VAR, but we were very surprised that no red card was issued,” the Spanish coach said.
However, according to the latest information, Thành Trung’s injury is not too serious. He only suffered a skin tear requiring 5 stitches. Doctors say Trần Thành Trung will need one week of rest before returning to training with his teammates.
The news that Trần Thành Trung’s injury is not severe is a positive sign not only for Ninh Bình Club but also for Vietnam U23. The 2005-born midfielder is currently on the preliminary list preparing for SEA Games 33, and with the diagnosis of only needing about a week off, he is fully capable of recovering in time to participate in the regional gold medal campaign.
