Vietnam national team gathers, Xuan Son eager to return

Striker Nguyen Xuan Son and his teammates in the Vietnamese national team gathered in Phu Tho to prepare for the match against Laos in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers.

On the morning of November 11, the remaining members of the Vietnamese team gathered in Viet Tri ( Phu Tho ), preparing for the match against Laos in the second leg of Group F, the final qualifying round of the 2027 Asian Cup. The focus of this gathering was the return of striker Nguyen Xuan Son.

The striker born in 1997 and his wife moved to the base of the Vietnam national team. He smiled brightly when he met his teammates again.

Xuan Son is in Phu Tho, ready to train with the Vietnamese team.

Viet Tri (Phu Tho) is a place with many beautiful memories for Xuan Son. In the first leg of the 2024 ASEAN Cup final, the Brazilian striker scored a double against Thailand, contributing greatly to helping the Vietnamese team win the championship (the second leg won 3-2).

After nearly a year of absence to treat an injury, Xuan Son returned to the Vietnam national team with excitement. “Hello everyone, Son is joining the national team,” the striker from Nam Dinh Steel wrote on his personal page.

Xuan Son's return gives coach Kim Sang Sik another extremely high-quality option for the Vietnamese national team's attack. However, in the coming days, the Korean strategist and the medical team will have to carefully check the health of the 28-year-old striker before deciding whether to use him in the upcoming match against Laos or not.

In addition to Xuan Son, on the morning of November 11, players from the Nam Dinh Steel Blue, CAHN and Hanoi FC also gathered after the end of round 11 of the V-League. The Vietnamese team had its first training session this afternoon, after having enough players.

According to the plan, on November 15, the Vietnamese team will go to Laos to prepare for the match against the home team at 7:00 p.m. on November 19. Currently, coach Kim Sang Sik's team Vietnam is ranked 2nd in Group F with 9 points after 4 matches, while Laos is ranked 3rd with 3 points. Topping Group F is Malaysia, with 12 points.
