The midfielder for SHB Da Nang suffered a broken hand during a warm-up match against Quang Ninh Coal on Saturday.

Toan fell after a jump vying for a ball, and his body came down onto his left hand. At a hospital, doctors said he would need months to recuperate before returning to practice.

This means he cannot compete at the national premier league, which begins January 8.

Toan, 23, had been a regular member of national teams for several years, before he suffered a herniated disc in late 2015. When he was back in action, Toan played a key role in SHB Da Nang’s third position in V.League 2016. He was called to the national team to take part in the AFF Suzuki Cup, but did not make the list in the final minutes.
