With regard to injured players, centre back Thanh Hao, 22 years old, from Binh Dinh province, who sustained an injury during the final match of the recent BTV Cup, is following a special treatment method. However, doctors said he is likely to be back in action in the next 3-4 days. Besides, fans need not worry about injuries of goalie Buu Ngoc and midfielder Manh Dung, as they are recovering quickly.
