Vietnam National Team: Xuan Son is on the list, Hoang Hen is absent

(Dan Tri) - Coach Kim Sang Sik called back striker Nguyen Xuan Son during the Vietnam national team's training session to prepare for the match against Laos, within the framework of the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers.

This training session coincides with the key training period of the Vietnam U22 team in preparation for the 33rd SEA Games, so some outstanding young players who have been present in the national team in previous training sessions will not appear this time.

However, coach Kim Sang Sik still maintains stability in the squad, harmoniously combining experienced pillars and players who are in good form at the club. Notably, the Korean strategist called back Nguyen Xuan Son after nearly a year of injury treatment.

Nguyen Xuan Son's return is considered a positive signal for the attack. Up to this point, Xuan Son has fully recovered and is ready to return to the national team.

Unfortunately, midfielder Do Hoang Hen, despite his brilliant performance for Hanoi FC, has not been called up to the Vietnam national team this time. In fact, even if he is called up, he is still not eligible to play according to FIFA regulations. Hoang Hen can only wear the national team shirt from the beginning of 2026.

Compared to the most recent training session, this time the Vietnamese team's roster includes two new recruits: central defender Khong Minh Gia Bao (Ho Chi Minh City Police Club) and striker Nguyen Tran Viet Cuong (Becamex Ho Chi Minh City Club) - new faces who promise to bring a breath of fresh air to the team.

In addition, the Vietnamese team still has the presence of familiar names such as Van Lam, Dinh Trieu, Bui Tien Dung, Van Vy, Quang Vinh, Duy Manh, Hai Long, Hoang Duc, Quang Hai, Tuan Hai, Tien Linh...

With a stable force and a spirit of determination to seize opportunities, coach Kim Sang Sik and his team aim to win all 3 points against Laos, thereby maintaining their advantage in the race for tickets to the 2027 Asian Cup finals.
