Huy Hung (L) will miss Vietnam’s World Cup qualifier against Thailand on November 19, 2019.

The dismissal of Huy Hung surprised many, as it means there are now only three center midfielders on the national team. But attacking midfielder Quang Hai is one good alternative for this position.

Though Huu Tuan has continued to impress Park, Van Dai was chosen over Tuan.

Attacking has been a headache for Park since Phan Van Duc picked up an injury. Trong Hung is expected to reenergize the team with his speed and finishing skill.

Thailand trained at My Dinh stadium on Monday evening.
