Huynh Nhu was injured in the 32nd minute while participating in an attack by the Vietnamese women's team. Coach Mai Duc Chung immediately withdrew striker number 9 to give his position to Pham Hai Yen.

Today, Huynh Nhu was taken to the hospital to check for injuries. According to the preliminary assessment of the coaching staff, the captain of the Vietnamese women's team only suffered a minor injury that will not affect her chances of participating in the 2023 World Cup.

Huynh Nhu is the number one star of Vietnamese women's football today. She holds the record for scoring for the Vietnamese women's team with 67 goals in 72 appearances.

The striker born in 1991 is expected to be the driving force for the Vietnamese women's team to compete well at the 2023 World Cup finals in July.

In the above match, the Vietnamese women's team faced many difficulties against an opponent with superior physique and physical strength.

Coach Mai Duc Chung's team conceded two goals in the 23rd and 58th minutes. However, the girls in red still played with determination and narrowed the score to 1-2 in the 87th minute thanks to Ngan Thi Van Su.

This was the first defeat for the Vietnamese women's team during their European training trip. Previously, coach Mai Duc Chung's team beat Eintracht Frankfurt's youth team 2-1 and defeated Schott Mainz Club 2-0.

According to the plan, the Vietnamese women's team will stay in Poland to practice until June 21 and then return to Germany to play a friendly match with the country's women's team on June 24.

After finishing their training trip in Germany, the Vietnamese women's team flew straight to New Zealand to attend the 2023 Women's World Cup finals.

According to the draw results, the team in Group E is with the defending champion USA, runner-up Netherlands and Portugal. Huynh Nhu and her teammates will meet USA (July 22), Portugal (July 27) and Netherlands (August 1).
