Nguyen Cong Phuong’s Struggle Continues at Yokohama FC as He Is Not on Registration List

Nguyen Cong Phuong, the Vietnamese striker, shocked many by opting to extend his contract with Yokohama FC despite being sidelined for a year. The decision was met with surprise as it was widely expected that his commitment and dedication would earn him playing time. However, Yokohama FC remained resolute in their stance, omitting Cong Phuong from their registration list for the recent J2 League match against Montedio Yamagata.

The absence of Cong Phuong from the team sheet continues to raise questions about his future with Yokohama FC and his prospects for the new season. Despite the favorable matchup against a weaker opponent, coach Shuhei Yomoda opted not to include the Nghe An native in the squad, further highlighting the challenging situation the striker finds himself in. With no official minutes under his belt so far this season, Cong Phuong’s decision to stay with Yokohama FC appears to have backfired.

In light of his ongoing struggles in Japan, it is becoming increasingly likely that Cong Phuong will miss out on the upcoming national team fixtures for Vietnam. Despite efforts from coach Philippe Troussier to provide support and guidance, the lack of playing time for the 29-year-old forward complicates his chances of featuring in the upcoming matches against Indonesia.

As Cong Phuong faces continued uncertainty at Yokohama FC, the ramifications of his decision to remain with the club are becoming more apparent. With his absence from the registration list persisting, it remains to be seen how the talented striker will navigate the challenges ahead. Stay tuned for more updates on Nguyen Cong Phuong’s footballing journey as the season progresses.
