In the list of 23 Vietnamese players, heading to the match against the Laos team, it is worth noting the return of striker Nguyen Xuan Son, after nearly a year away from the field due to injury. In addition, other returns include left-back Phan Tuan Tai and right-wing midfielder Le Van Do.

On the other hand, notable absences from the Vietnamese team in this training session include goalkeepers Nguyen Filip and Tran Trung Kien. Among the new faces, striker Nguyen Tran Viet Cuong is the one to look forward to.

After arriving in Vientiane, the Vietnamese team will rest and recover this afternoon and evening. The team will have their first training session in the land of a million elephants tomorrow afternoon (November 16).

In the first leg match at Binh Duong Stadium on March 25, the Vietnamese team won 5-0 against the Lao team. In the return match on November 19, coach Kim Sang Sik's team is still rated much higher than their opponents.

The Vietnamese team is currently ranked second in Group F of the 3rd qualifying round of the 2027 Asian Cup, with 9 points after 4 matches. We are 3 points behind the top team Malaysia.

However, it is very likely that Vietnam will take the top spot in this group from Malaysia. The reason is that the opponent can be eliminated from the Asian Cup for using illegal players. They used naturalized players with fake documents in the matches against Vietnam on June 10 and Nepal on March 25.
