(VNF) - Nguyen Thanh Son, Head coach of Becamex Binh Duong club, said that his team is likely to lose three key players in the game against FC Tokyo on May 4th, due to injuries/cards.

However, this game plays an important role as FC Tokyo from Japan, currently ranking at third place with 7 points, must win in order to earn a ticket for the next round.

According to head coach Nguyen Thanh Son, playing in the host stadium, his team has a very strong impetus to play for fans.

Both centre back Truong Dinh Luat (33) and captain striker Anh Duc (31) have injuries, while midfielder Le Tan Tai, 32, should not play due to his two yellow cards.

The hot weather condition in Binh Duong, a plus 15 decree Celsius difference, is not a favour for visiting FC Tokyo of head coach Hiroshi Jofuku. Additionally, the win over Hyundai Motors from the Republic of Korea, and a drew to Jiangsu from Chian, of the Vietnamese representative, were also a challenge./.
