Vietnam National Team: Good news from Xuan Son, Van Hau and other talents

The Vietnamese team is actively creating competition to renew the squad for the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers, while still patiently waiting for a series of important players to recover from injuries.

Why did Xuan Son return to Brazil?

V-League 2024 - 2025 ended, striker Nguyen Xuan Son returned to Brazil but not for a summer vacation, but to continue his recovery with his own physical therapist. It is known that Nam Dinh Club is ready to hire an expert to build a specialized training program for him. Xuan Son will even accompany this Brazilian expert when he returns to Vietnam. The best player of the AFF Cup 2024 is determined to return soon to contribute to Nam Dinh Club's hat-trick of V-League championships, as well as the Vietnamese team's return match against Malaysia in March 2026. However, he and the team from Nam Dinh understand that determination and haste are sometimes very fragile. Nam Dinh Club is ready to patiently wait for Xuan Son, even until the return match of V-League 2025 - 2026 if necessary.

How is Van Hau?

Another face that is also receiving special care is defender Doan Van Hau. The number 1 left-back of Vietnam is practicing at the rehabilitation room in Hanoi of physical therapist Steven (who used to work for the PVF Center). At this time, Hau's knee has recovered, helping him focus completely on treating his heel injury. The Hanoi Police Club has also made a very nice move by extending the contract for another 2 years with Van Hau. This will be a great encouragement for this 1.86 m tall player to focus more on recovery and training.

Coach Kim and the team wait and look forward.

The Vietnamese team is still waiting for three important names to return after injury: Ho Tan Tai, Bui Vi Hao and Doan Ngoc Tan. Ngoc Tan broke his fibula during a training session with Thanh Hoa Club in early April, but has returned to training and will be ready to compete when the V-League 2025 - 2026 opens. Meanwhile, Ho Tan Tai also reported good news when he is practicing the final stage of the transition process, including muscle exercises and coordination. It is expected that this right-back will start practicing with the ball from the beginning of next week for a month and a half before returning to Binh Duong Club at the end of August. Based on his abundant physical strength, he can play from the beginning of the second leg of next season or even earlier.

Another star of Binh Duong Club, Bui Vi Hao (torn ankle ligament, fractured fibula) is also in stable condition. His injured bone has completely healed. Experts are giving him exercises to stabilize his leg muscles, before waiting for the ligament to fully recover. These days, he has started practicing coordination exercises. It is expected that he will recover in time for the 33rd SEA Games at the end of the year.
