Vietnam team says goodbye to Viet Anh

After the training session on March 13, the Vietnamese team was forced to have its first changes when coach Kim Sang-sik said goodbye to central defender Bui Hoang Viet Anh and called up Trinh Xuan Hoang while waiting for Tien Linh to return.

In fact, in the match against Nam Dinh Club, Bui Hoang Viet Anh suffered a relapse of his knee injury, preventing him from playing much in the 2024 AFF Cup. He will be returned to the Hanoi Police Club to recover from the injury that has persisted since 2024.

This can be seen as a warning for Bui Hoang Viet Anh if we look back at many cases of national players who were not treated and rehabilitated properly and were plagued by injuries for a long time.

Information from the Vietnam team also said that goalkeeper Dinh Trieu is having back problems. He will be taken for an MRI scan on the morning of March 14. To prepare for all possibilities, Mr. Kim decided to call Trinh Xuan Hoang.

It is known that Xuan Hoang was a member of the Vietnam U.23 team that won the 2022 Southeast Asian U.23 tournament, in which he was the main goalkeeper when we defeated Thailand U.23.

At the beginning of this season, Xuan Hoang was coach Popov's number 1 choice in goal for Thanh Hoa Club, starting 13 matches before giving way to his senior Thanh Thang since coach Popov left.

Also on March 13, striker Nguyen Tien Linh also revealed his return time: "Yesterday, the Vietnamese team had 3-4 players absent due to health problems, not in good physical condition and the doctors wanted to check the extent of the injury.

Currently, most of the players have relatively minor injuries and can return to training in the near future. Linh will personally practice recovery with the Vietnamese team's doctors in the next 1-2 days.

Hopefully Linh can recover in time for the friendly match with Cambodia on March 19 and the match against Laos on March 25 in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers."

The 2024 Vietnam Golden Ball continued: "After completing the set goals with the Vietnam team at the AFF Cup 2024, the players are in a very comfortable spirit heading towards the opening match of the Asian Cup qualifying campaign.

Our spirit and physical condition are also better after going through the fierce rounds of V-League. Before the training, we were competing in V-League so we were in relatively good physical condition.

As for Tien Linh and Dinh Thanh Binh, who are currently in the recovery process, it will only take a few days to practice again with the Vietnam team. This is not too worrying and we will return soon."
