The Đông Á Thanh Hoá players recently came to see and support midfielder Thái Sơn while he was undergoing treatment following his ligament operation.
Thái Sơn had just completed his transfer from Đông Á Thanh Hoá Club to Ninh Bình Club before the second half of the season began. However, during his debut match for the new team in round 12, the midfielder unfortunately sustained a serious injury that required surgery..
According to medical staff, Thái Sơn’s ligament surgery was successfully performed on February 6 at a hospital in Ho Chi Minh City. The attending doctor reported that Thái Sơn’s vital signs post-operation were very stable, he was fully conscious, and experienced no adverse reactions. After the post-surgery observation period, the midfielder will begin a strict rehabilitation program following a specialized protocol to regain his ball control skills as soon as possible.
At this time, Đông Á Thanh Hoá was playing an away match against Công an TP.HCM in round 13 of the V-League. Taking advantage of their stay in Ho Chi Minh City, the coaching staff and players of the Thanh Hoá team visited the hospital to check on and encourage their former teammate.
The care shown by the Đông Á Thanh Hoá members is considered a great source of encouragement for Thái Sơn, helping him gain confidence in his recovery journey to return to the field soon.
According to doctors’ assessments, Thái Sơn will need at least 8 to 9 months before he can resume training and approximately 10 months to reach professional playing condition.
