Doan Ngoc Tan has broken ribs

Doan Ngoc Tan's injury occurred during the match between Hong Linh Ha Tinh and Thanh Hoa in round 3 of V-League 2025-2026. In the 54th minute, this midfielder collided strongly with Nguyen Hoang Trung Nguyen and Joseph Onoja of Hong Linh Ha Tinh.

He collapsed on the field in pain and was replaced a few minutes later by his young teammate Nguyen Ba Tien. This is the second time in 2025 that Doan Ngoc Tan has been injured. He broke his fibula while training with Thanh Hoa Club, while preparing for the match against Hanoi Club in round 17 of the V-League last season. This injury forced Doan Ngoc Tan to miss the rest of the season.

This excellent midfielder has just returned not long ago. This unfortunate injury means Ngoc Tan can only return in early December 2025. As for Thanh Hoa Club, this team will create the best conditions to treat Doan Ngoc Tan's injury.

Coach Kim Sang-sik received this bad news last night and he has not yet come up with a replacement plan.
