During the training session to prepare for the match against Ninh Binh in the quarter-finals of the 2024/25 National Cup, Bui Vi Hao suffered an ankle injury after a tackle. Doctors diagnosed Vi Hao with a sprained ankle, but he needed to wait for the swelling to subside and the fluid to clear before he could undergo an X-ray. On March 31, the Vietnamese striker underwent an MRI scan in Ho Chi Minh City. The result was that he suffered a more serious injury than expected: a torn ankle ligament.

With this injury, Vi Hao will have to undergo surgery in the next few days. After that, the Binh Duong Club striker will have to rest for 6-8 months to recover.

Thus, Vi Hao will have to say goodbye early in the 2024/25 season with Binh Duong Club, miss the match between Vietnam and Malaysia in June, cannot participate in the 2026 U23 Asian qualifiers in September and is at risk of not being able to attend the 33rd SEA Games taking place in Thailand at the end of this year.

Meanwhile, after being examined and scanned in Pleiku, center back Ly Duc was diagnosed with no serious injuries. He only suffered a grade 2 ligament sprain. The 1m82 tall center back needs to rest for at least 3 weeks before he can recover and return to training.

Thus, Ly Duc will have to sit out 3-4 matches of HAGL in the second leg of V-League. If he recovers in time, Ly Duc can still be called up by coach Kim Sang Sik to the U22 team or the Vietnam national team, in the gathering at the end of May.
