Ho Tan Tai re-examined the injury
In the semi-final second leg of the AFF Cup 2024 taking place on December 29, 2024 between Vietnam and Singapore, Ho Tan Tai suffered a knee ligament injury after an attempt to control and shoot. On the morning of December 30, 2024, he was taken for a checkup and doctors diagnosed that the defender only had a ligament injury, not a rupture, and did not require surgery. This injury requires 6 to 8 weeks to fully recover.
However, that result was inaccurate because Tan Tai’s muscles were still tense after the match. On the morning of January 13, 2025, the player from Binh Dinh went for a scan and re-checked his knee. This time, doctors said that the defender born in 1997 needed surgery due to a partial rupture of the right knee ligament. He will need about 9 months to return to the field.

The surgery location has not been finalized yet
It is expected that Tan Tai will go on the operating table on the morning of January 14. The Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) wants this defender to have surgery at Vinmec in Hanoi, where striker Nguyen Xuan Son is being treated and recovered. Meanwhile, Binh Duong Club proposed that Tan Tai have surgery in Ho Chi Minh City to facilitate recovery from injury.
If the surgery is performed in Ho Chi Minh City, the person who operated on Tan Tai will also be a highly skilled doctor who has operated on national players such as Do Hung Dung, Doan Van Hau… VFF and Binh Club. Duong will work together to soon agree on the best treatment plan for Tan Tai, so this player can return to the field as quickly as possible. According to the newspaper’s research Adolescentthe possibility of this defender having surgery in Ho Chi Minh City is higher.
