Vietnam national team and U23 Vietnam team gathered for the first session under coach Philippe Troussier

(HNMO) - On June 6, coach Philippe Troussier deployed the lesson plan for the first training session of the Vietnam National Men's Football Team and Vietnam U23 Team at the Vietnam Youth Football Training Center.

Due to the schedule of round 11 of V.League 2023, in the first training session, the French strategist only had 25 players called up to the list of the two teams this time. The remaining group of players will be present at the military base after June 7.

Regarding the three players currently playing for foreign clubs, Cong Phuong will join the national team on June 10, Van Toan will return home on June 12, while Quang Hai is already in Hanoi and will reunite with his teammates at tomorrow's training session.

In addition, defender Nguyen Phong Hong Duy was injured and is expected to have to rest and recover for about 2 weeks. Because the team had a short training session to compete in FIFA Days, coach Philippe Troussier decided to send Hong Duy back to the club to continue treatment and did not call up any other players.

According to the plan, in the first training phase taking place from June 6 to June 13, coach Philippe Troussier will combine the Vietnam national team and Vietnam U23 team in the same training plan, then separate and select about 26 players for the first international friendly match against the Hong Kong team (China), taking place on June 15 at Lach Tray Stadium.

The group of players not selected for the above match will continue to stay in the training team and will have two quality tests, respectively against the Hanoi Police Club on June 14 at the PVF Center and against the Hai Phong Club on June 17 at Lach Tray Stadium. Based on the performances of the players in these two matches, combined with the evaluation of the performance of the group of players who played against Hong Kong (China), coach Philippe Troussier will finalize the squad of the Vietnamese team for the second international friendly match, against the Syrian team on June 20 at Thien Truong Stadium (Nam Dinh).
