Round 17 of V-League will witness 5 players sidelined because of suspension.
Among the suspended players, Phạm Trung Hiếu of Hải Phòng is notably absent. The number 17 player will miss the match between Hải Phòng and Hà Nội on April 4th after accumulating 3 yellow cards. For the same reason, Lucas Henrique Turci of PVF-CAND will also be absent from the clash with Becamex TP.HCM on April 4th.
In the match between Hoàng Anh Gia Lai and Ninh Bình on April 5th, both teams suffer personnel losses. For the Mountain City team, Trần Gia Bảo will be suspended due to accumulating 3 yellow cards. Meanwhile, Imoh Fred Friday of Ninh Bình faces the same situation and is forced to watch from the sidelines.
The most notable case is Lucas Alves de Araujo of Thép Xanh Nam Định. This defender will be unable to play in the encounter with Hồng Lĩnh Hà Tĩnh on April 5th after receiving a red card in the previous round. Lucas Alves' absence is considered a significant loss for Nam Định, especially as the race at the top of the table is fiercely competitive.
The suspension of 5 players will undoubtedly impact the personnel plans of the clubs before round 17. As the season enters a crucial phase, any absence could create a major difference in the outcome.
With these personnel fluctuations, round 17 V-League 2025/26 is predicted to continue delivering surprises and drama.
