The Vietnam team entered the 4th training session to prepare for the match against Malaysia, the final qualifying round of the 2027 Asian Cup, with good news from the squad situation.

After 2 days of absence, Cong Phuong, Duc Chien and Dinh Trieu returned to practice with their teammates in the Vietnam national team. Before that, Cong Phuong had a sore foot, while Duc Chien and Dinh Trieu showed signs of being overloaded. All 3 players were asked by coach Kim Sang Sik to stay at the hotel to rest.

The return of Cong Phuong, Duc Chien and Dinh Trieu helps coach Kim Sang Sik ease his worries before the very important match with Malaysia. Cong Phuong can be the goal-scoring option for the Vietnamese team in the context of Tien Linh's loss of form.

With Duc Chien, the player of The Cong Viettel Club is expected to replace Doan Ngoc Tan's blocking duties in the middle of the field, while Dinh Trieu is still likely to be given the starting position even when Nguyen Filip is in very good form. Compared to Filip, the best goalkeeper of ASEAN Cup 2024 connects well with his teammates.
