Hot: Ho Tan Tai is absent from 2 finals, the Vietnamese team is stressed

Ho Tan Tai’s unfortunate injury

In the final minutes of the semi-final second leg between Vietnam and Singapore at Viet Tri Stadium, Ho Tan Tai ran up to catch the ball and turned around to eliminate his opponent, but suddenly collapsed without colliding with anyone.

Doctors immediately entered the field to care for the right back of Binh Duong Club, before he painfully held his face and left the field on a stretcher in the extreme worry of his teammates and the coaching staff of the Vietnamese team.

Initial examination results showed that Ho Tan Tai’s injury was quite serious, with signs of ligament damage. Coach Kim Sang-sik has directed the medical team to take the player born in 1997 for an MRI tomorrow morning, December 30.

The exact results will be announced on December 30, but it is a pity that the 2024 AFF Cup soon ended with Ho Tan Tai, who stood out thanks to his ability to cross the ball and score high.

Stretch yourself to adapt to the competition schedule

Ho Tan Tai will be the second player of the Vietnamese team to be injured and unable to continue playing, but will have to cheer on his teammates after Van Toan’s case after the 5-0 victory over Myanmar to close the group stage. .

Also in the match on December 29, Van Thanh was hurt after a collision with a Singaporean player while Xuan Manh had a slight muscle strain and had to ask to leave the field early.

In particular, the injuries of Tan Tai and Van Thanh and the health conditions of Xuan Manh will force coach Kim Sang- sik has a headache with the problem of human resources on both sides.

More broadly, the team of doctors and coaching assistants of the Vietnamese team will have to operate at full capacity to help the players recover before entering the two finals on January 2 and 5, 2025.
