Thanh Nhan was injured during the training session on the evening of July 16 of U23 Vietnam , after an unbalanced landing. He left the session and was taken care of by doctors. On the morning of July 17, Thanh Nhan was taken by the medical team to a hospital in Indonesia for examination. The results showed that the U23 Vietnam striker had damaged the ligaments in his left ankle and could not recover in time to participate in the 2025 Southeast Asian U23 tournament.

Coach Kim Sang Sik was forced to say goodbye to Thanh Nhan and recall Van Thuan - the best young player of V-League 2024/25. Previously, Van Thuan was one of the players eliminated when the Korean strategist finalized the list of U23 Vietnam.

In the 2024/25 season, Van Thuan was promoted to the first team of Thanh Hoa Club to compete in the V-League and left many impressions with 16 appearances, scoring 4 goals and contributing 2 assists. It is known that the young player of Thanh Hoa Club immediately moved to Indonesia to be present at the U23 Vietnam team on July 18, just 1 day before the opening match against U23 Laos.

This is not the first time Thanh Nhan has missed important matches and tournaments due to injury. Previously, he had to miss the 2023 Asian Cup Finals, could not compete in the bronze medal match at the 32nd SEA Games and most recently could not participate in the 2024 AFC U23 Championship Finals.

The opening match between U23 Vietnam and U23 Laos will take place at 5:00 p.m. on July 19 at Patriot Stadium, Bekasi, Indonesia.
