HÀ NỘI — Hải Phòng will miss their key player, defender Nguyễn Anh Hùng, in the match against Sanna Khánh Hòa in the seventh round of the National Premier League in Nha Trang City today.

Hùng received three yellow cards, so he cannot play in the upcoming match. Hùng is the top choice of coach Trương Việt Hoàng at the defence line. He played well in all six matches of Hải Phòng in the tournament and was also noticed by the goal.com.

However, northern port city team Hải Phòng will welcome the return of striker Errol Stevens after a suspension in the match with Hà Nội.

Without Hùng, Hải Phòng will have their work cut out, as Khánh Hòa have good attackers such as Nguyễn Hoàng Quốc Chí and Lâm Ti Phông.

Hải Phòng have made a good start in this year’s football season with 10 points and rank fourth in the rankings. Khánh Hòa has dropped to 10th place with six points. — VNS
