Hanoi FC without Do Hung Dung for a month
Striker Le Xuan Tu also had to go through a similar situation. Both had surgery on the morning of May 18.
Xuan Tu and Hung Dung rested at least four V-League matches from round 8 to 11, including matches Da Nang (May 22), Nam Dinh (June 4) at home and Binh Duong (May 27). HAGL (May 31) at away.
After that, the V-League took a break according to the FIFA days schedule. Do Hung Dung will also miss the gathering of the Vietnamese team, scheduled to play a friendly against Hong Kong on June 15.
Previously, the capital team lost captain Nguyen Van Quyet, due to an eight-match ban for colliding with assistant referee Nguyen Le Nguyen Thanh in the 1-3 loss to Binh Dinh at Quy Nhon Stadium in round 7. Hanoi FC sent a complaint to the Complaints Board of the Vietnam Football Federation VFF but it was vetoed.
After seven rounds, Hanoi FC is second with 14 points, three points behind the top team Thanh Hoa and one point ahead of third place Binh Dinh.
The V-League ended the break for the 32nd SEA Games and returned on May 19 with the HAGL match against Thanh Hoa at Pleiku Stadium.
