How are Troussier's injured players doing now?

Thanh Chung plays for Hanoi Club

The Vietnamese team has disappointed at the 2023 Asian Cup, putting coach Philippe Troussier under a lot of pressure as only 2 months from now they will enter 2 "life-or-death" matches with their opponent Indonesia on March 21 and 26.

Whatever the reason, Mr. Troussier needs to win against the opponent who just defeated him 1-0 in the group stage of the 2023 Asian Cup, to maintain the hope of entering the third qualifying round, as well as to secure the position of head coach of the Vietnamese team.

Mr. Troussier's greatest hope is the return of key players who were unable to participate in Qatar due to injury, including captain Que Ngoc Hai and Tien Linh, Hoang Duc, Thanh Chung, Tien Dung...

Previously, coach Troussier decided to limit Duy Manh's use in the 2023 Asian Cup, only sending him onto the field from the 77th minute of the final match against Iraq, when the Vietnamese team had only 10 players left from the end of the first half.

Hoang Duc played the full 90 minutes for Viettel The Cong Club

Also, Thanh Chung and Duy Manh have been overloaded since the end of V-League 2023, even in the last month of the tournament, they had to grit their teeth and force themselves to play.

The short break between the two seasons then caused these two central defenders to lose form and both suffered injuries. Thanh Chung was sent back to the club by Mr. Troussier to treat his injury and returned to the field at the recent Hana Play Cup friendly tournament.

Also at this tournament, fans witnessed Hoang Duc's return, playing the full 90 minutes in the match between Viettel Club and Hanoi Club on January 23.

In the South, the two pillars of Binh Duong Club and the Vietnam national team, Que Ngoc Hai and Nguyen Tien Linh, have both been able to practice with the ball again. Thus, all injured players who could not participate in the 2023 Asian Cup have recovered and are ready when the 2023-2024 V-League season returns with round 9 from February 17.

Hopefully, the competition time from round 9 to round 13 will be enough time for the pillars of the Vietnamese team to regain their best form, ensuring their physical strength to contribute to the Vietnamese team in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in March.
