With just a few weeks left to the big show of the AFF Suzuki Cup 2016, title hopeful Vietnam suffered a blow this week with the news that defender Tran Dinh Hoang is out of commissioned.

The stalwart suffered a recurrence of torn meniscus cartilage during training and where he will have to give the AFF Suzuki Cup a total miss.

Dinh Hoang – a first-choice at right wing for Vietnam head coach Nguyen Huu Thang – will have to undergo surgery to make a complete recovery.

Vietnam are in Group B of the championship this year where they will take on hosts Myanmar, Malaysia and Cambodia.
