Cause of Injury
Initial diagnosis by doctors indicates that Đinh Triệu still has air in his abdomen, a residual effect from a collision with a Thai player during the second leg of the AFF Cup 2024 final on January 5th. This collision left a bruise near the goalkeeper’s lower back. He needs further monitoring to determine when he can return to the field.
Upcoming Match Schedule
On January 19th, Hai Phong Club, where Đinh Triệu plays, will face Quang Nam Club in the 10th round of the V-League. Whether the main goalkeeper of the Hai Phong team can participate in this match remains uncertain.
Notable Achievements at AFF Cup 2024
Đinh Triệu delivered an impressive performance at the 2024 AFF Cup. Starting as the second-choice goalkeeper for the Vietnam national team, he rose to become the first-choice, surpassing goalkeeper Nguyễn Filip. He played exceptionally well in the most crucial matches of the tournament, including both legs of the semifinals against Singapore and the two-legged final against Thailand. At the end of the competition, Đinh Triệu was recognized as the best goalkeeper of the 2024 AFF Cup by the technical committee.
Future Outlook for Đinh Triệu
Đinh Triệu’s recurring injury poses significant challenges for both him and Hai Phong Club. Timely monitoring and treatment are crucial to ensure his health and fitness. Doctors will continue to assess the situation to make the final decision regarding his return to the field.
We hope that Đinh Triệu will recover soon and continue to deliver outstanding performances for his team and fans.
