The return of the player born in 1997 is a good sign not only for him personally but also for the team in a period when more breakthrough factors are needed in the front line.

The pain will pass, Xuan Son!

VHO - The image of striker Nguyen Xuan Son holding back his pain, sitting in a wheelchair, lifting the ASEAN Cup 2024 championship trophy at Bangkok airport (Thailand) on his way home with the Vietnamese team has moved millions of fans in his homeland. The pain from his right leg may have made Xuan Son worried about his career, but it could not stop the rise of pride and joy when his contributions were duly rewarded with the championship of his home team.

Spirit and will are always Xuan Son's strengths. This player is considered one of the most comprehensive attacking players that Vietnamese football possesses, in terms of strength, speed and technique.

Coincidentally, 1 year ago, Xuan Son also had his first meeting with the Vietnamese team, when the team traveled to Laos, in the opening round of the 2024 ASEAN Cup.

The return of Nguyen Xuan Son is also 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.

Compared to the most recent training session, this time's training list 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).

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 his squad, harmoniously combining experienced pillars and players who are performing well at the club.

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.
