U23 Vietnam players have to leave the field on a stretcher, what is the condition?

U23 Vietnam had a tough match against U23 Malaysia in the 31st SEA Games semi-final at Viet Tri Stadium (Phu Tho). Coach Park Hang-seo’s teachers and students stumbled upon a “bus” that the Malaysian U23 players had set up and were only able to win tickets to the final thanks to Nguyen Tien Linh’s only goal in the 114th minute.

For the second time in a row, at the 31st SEA Games men’s football final, coach Park Hang-seo was not happy when he had to be insecure about the team’s personnel situation. In a tough match against Malaysia U23, two U23 Vietnamese players were injured and had to leave the field, Le Van Xuan and Ly Cong Hoang Anh, in which Le Van Xuan’s injury was confirmed to be quite serious.

Specifically, in an attack situation in the 72nd minute, Le Van Xuan had a very strong collision with the Malaysian player Hadi Fayyadh Razak. Immediately, the player on the staff of Hanoi FC showed a lot of pain and repeatedly smashed his hand on the ground. Captain Hung Dung standing right there showed great concern for his junior and repeatedly signaled for a substitution.

After that, Le Van Xuan immediately had to leave the field on a stretcher and was taken by doctors to the dressing room to check more closely the extent of the injury.

According to initial information, the 23-year-old defender’s ligaments have been severed. It will be necessary to wait for the results of an MRI of the knee joint to see if Le Van Xuan has indeed ruptured the ligament. But surely any ligament damage will greatly affect his career.

If the knee ligament breaks, Le Van Xuan is likely to have to rest until 2022, which means he will miss the entire rest of this season with Hanoi FC.

Back to the player wearing the number 9 shirt Hadi Fayyadh Razak on the Malaysian side U23, after a successful kick with Le Van Xuan, he continued to have a collision with Tien Linh and Van Toan of Vietnam U23 and then had to get a yellow card.
