Công Phượng brings good news, his injury is not too severe.

Công Phượng has just come back after his injury flared up again, but luckily he only has to take a two-week break this time.

During the home match against Khánh Hòa, Nguyễn Công Phượng once again became the center of attention with a performance full of brilliance and some regret. The 1995-born striker scored a crucial goal that helped Trường Tươi Đồng Nai equalize, paving the way for an impressive 3-1 comeback. However, the joy of victory was marred as he had to leave the field early due to his injury flaring up again.

From the opening minutes, Công Phượng played energetically, moving agilely and constantly disturbing the opponent’s defense. He showed excellent ball control and neat skills, creating many dangerous chances. His equalizing goal was a well-deserved reward, as he exploited space inside the box to shoot quickly and bring the game back to level terms.

However, before the first half ended, the Nghệ An-born forward suddenly showed signs of pain and needed medical attention. After a few minutes of trying, he was unable to continue and was substituted off. Losing this key attacker somewhat affected Đồng Nai’s offensive play, although his teammates remained determined to complete the comeback.

After the match, coach Nguyễn Việt Thắng expressed his regret for his player. He praised Công Phượng’s outstanding performance with delicate touches and sharp finishing skills. The coach considered it truly unfortunate that the player who just returned had to face physical issues again amid the victorious atmosphere.

According to medical staff, the injury’s severity requires further examination in the coming days. Although there is no official diagnosis yet, doctors believe the situation is not too serious. To ensure safety, Công Phượng is likely to take a two-week break to fully recover before resuming the high intensity of the Vietnamese National First Division.

Notably, this is the phase when Công Phượng is regaining his match rhythm after a long period of injury treatment. Since joining Đồng Nai, he has consistently proven his value on the field with goals and clear professional marks. Thus, his temporary absence is certainly a big loss, but fans still hope he will recover soon to continue leading the attack for the rest of the season.
