Chuong Thi Kieu has not been treated for her injury, it is difficult to kick the 31st SEA Games

Right at the first training session of the team Vietnamese women’s recruitment To prepare for the 31st SEA Games, defender Chuong Thi Kieu had to practice separately because of an injury. By the third training session, the player born in 1995 was able to practice normally with his teammates, but according to Kieu, every 1-2 sessions of practice, his legs would hurt again.

“Currently, I see that the training sessions have also become heavier and improved for us after returning to the local area, doing physical and tactical exercises.  To prepare for the 31st SEA Games personally, I will also try my best. Although I can’t be 100% sure, because my legs are also heavy, after 1-2 sessions, my legs will swell again, I have to rest to recover before I can continue to practice.”

Chuong Thi Kieu is a player who has made a great contribution to the Vietnamese women’s team in tournaments. In Ho Chi Minh City Club I, Kieu is also an important shield in front of the goal. However, her cruciate ligament injury persisted and was not completely cured. The constant trying to kick leads to the current swollen leg condition. Previously, in 2020, VFF planned for Chuong Thi Kieu to go to Korea for surgery, but due to the influence of Covid-19, this player could not go.

Entering the 31st SEA Games with rich experience, Chuong Thi Kieu is still the mainstay of the Vietnamese women’s team. But can Kieu survive with a tight schedule like the SEA Games now?
