Goalkeeper Van Lam suffered a muscle overload injury during the Vietnamese team's training session yesterday (November 11) and is expected to return soon.

Goalkeeper Van Lam is absent

Goalkeeper Dang Van Lam was absent from this afternoon's training session (November 12). He was absent due to having to follow a recovery regimen due to muscle overload during yesterday's training session.

It is expected that Van Lam will be present tomorrow (November 13), when he has fully recovered. Overall, the injury of the player born in 1993 is not serious, and will not affect his chance to play in the match against Laos in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers.

Before today's training session, defender Pham Xuan Manh shared: "Everyone's health is stable, no one has serious injuries. The team atmosphere is currently very positive."

The 1996-born player also praised Nguyen Xuan Son, who has just returned after nearly a year of absence to treat an injury. "Xuan Son always brings positive energy to the whole team. He always smiles and inspires his teammates," Xuan Manh commented on his teammate.

In this afternoon's training session, Xuan Son continued to practice with the whole team, not practicing his own training plan. He actively participated in warm-up exercises, kicking, passing and fighting for the ball, besides accumulating enough physical strength to participate in tactical training.

After yesterday’s training session which focused on muscle relaxation to help the players regain their comfort, today, Mr. Kim decided to increase the intensity. The players practiced finishing coordination exercises, set pieces, and counter-attacks.

At the same time, coach Kim Sang-sik's coaching staff is spending time studying opponents Laos to find suitable tactics.

"The Vietnamese team aims to win in Laos. We want to bring back 3 points," Xuan Manh confidently shared.

The Vietnamese team will face Laos on November 19 in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers. After 4 matches, Mr. Kim's team won 3, drew 1, earned 9 points, and temporarily ranked second in the group (behind Malaysia with 12 points).
