Van Hau has gone to the training ground.

After a period of physical therapy, Doan Van Hau was able to go out on the field to practice with the ball.

On July 10, Van Hau posted a photo of himself practicing with a ball on social media and received nearly 4,000 interactions.

Head coach of Hanoi Police Club (CAHN) Alexandre Polking left a like, while many of Van Hau's national team teammates also commented wishing him a quick return to competition.

Van Hau has been away from top-level football for nearly 2 years due to an injury to the heel attachment, which has lasted from September 2023 until now. During this time, Hau has undergone many surgeries, from Singapore to Korea. His only companion is usually his wife Doan Hai My.

The last time Hau had to have surgery was earlier this year. He had to celebrate Tet with his left leg in a cast. Despite many negative comments online, Van Hau is still determined to practice and maintain an optimistic spirit. Hau's current club, Cong An Ha Noi, recently extended his contract for another 2 years.

Persistent injuries have been a source of bad luck for Van Hau for a long time. Since his failed trip abroad to the Netherlands in 2019, Van Hau has suffered consecutive knee injuries that have interrupted his professional playing career.

Before that, Hau was the number one hope of Hanoi FC and the Vietnam national team in the left-back position. He has the ability to attack and defend in balance. His tall stature (1.86m) helps the player born in 1999 also play the center-back position when needed.

In nearly 2 years without Van Hau, the Vietnamese team has experienced many ups and downs, failing to pass the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup, but winning the 2024 ASEAN Cup.

If his recovery progresses well, Van Hau may soon have the opportunity to return to the field for the Hanoi Police Club.
