Bùi Vĩ Hào, a rising star in the Vietnamese national team and Bình Dương club, suffered a severe injury during a training session in preparation for the national cup quarter-finals. Medical tests revealed that the 2003-born player has torn his ankle ligaments and will require surgery. This is a significant setback for both Bình Dương and the national team.
The torn ankle ligament injury will keep Bùi Vĩ Hào sidelined for an estimated 6 to 8 months. This means he will miss the remaining matches for Bình Dương this season, as well as the crucial match against Malaysia, the 2026 U23 Asian Cup qualifying, and potentially even the SEA Games 33. This unfortunate news has saddened many fans.
Bùi Vĩ Hào’s career was on a strong upward trajectory, and this injury is a significant blow, not only to him but also to the national team. His speed and scoring ability make him a highly promising young talent.
The exact cause of the injury was not detailed in the original report. However, it’s speculated that the sub-par playing surface during the previous quarter-final match against HA Gia Lai club in the National Cup might have contributed to the unfortunate incident.
Besides Bùi Vĩ Hào, defender Phạm Lý Đức also sustained an injury, specifically a grade 2 knee ligament sprain, requiring at least three weeks of recovery. This is another notable loss for the Vietnamese national team, particularly given the recent string of injuries or physical issues affecting other players.
The recent spate of injuries among Vietnamese players raises concerns about player fitness preparation, and the quality of playing surfaces. Furthermore, the importance of early and accurate injury assessment is crucial.
Conclusion:
Bùi Vĩ Hào’s torn ankle ligament is a significant setback for the Vietnamese national team and Bình Dương. The frequent injuries among Vietnamese players in recent times are a substantial challenge for the teams. Improving player fitness and addressing potential risks during training and matches are paramount.
