Coach Mano Polking confirmed that striker Alan suffered a muscle injury and will have to rest for a long time. CAHN's main striker will definitely not be able to travel with the team to China for the away match against Beijing Guoan, the opening match of the AFC Champions League Two 2025/26.

This is a big loss for CAHN because Alan was in very impressive form before the injury. This striker scored 5 goals, 1 assist after 3 matches in V-League, in addition to scoring 1 goal in the Southeast Asian Club Cup. If counting the goal scored in the National Super Cup, Alan now has 7 goals in all arenas.

Alan may have to take a long break.

Without Alan, Coach Polking will have to come up with a replacement plan for the upcoming match against Beijing Guoan. Right after the 2-1 win against Hai Phong , CAHN will travel to China to prepare for the match against the home team on September 18.

Captain CAHN assessed the opponent: "The match is very difficult because Beijing Guoan is a strong team, rich in experience and has depth of force. However, we are also in good form, excited after positive results in V-League. CAHN entered the field with careful preparation and the best mentality."

In the AFC Champions League Two 2025/26, CAHN is in the same group with Beijing Guoan (China), Macarthur FC (Australia) and Tai Po FC (Hong Kong - China). Among the above teams, Beijing Guoan is the most highly rated, having reached the semi-finals of the AFC Champions League 2010. In the domestic tournament, this team has won the national championship once, the National Cup four times, and the Chinese Super Cup twice.
