On the evening of March 18, coach Philippe Troussier announced the list of 28 players of the Vietnamese team for the 2 matches against Indonesia. The 5 players eliminated are: Do Duy Manh, Giap Tuan Duong, Truong Tien Anh, Nguyen Hai Long and Nguyen Cong Phuong.
Do Duy Manh suffered a thigh injury, Nguyen Cong Phuong suffered an ankle injury. Two other players, Giap Tuan Duong and Truong Tien Anh, were only able to practice in the last two sessions. Midfielder Nguyen Hai Long has not made a difference for the players playing in the same position.
Thus, the Vietnamese team brought 28 players to Indonesia and registered 23 people when the match took place.
Cong Phuong says goodbye to the Vietnam team.
Cong Phuong's inability to play has affected Coach Troussier's plans. The French coach personally went to Japan to check the fitness and form of the striker born in 1995. Nguyen Cong Phuong showed that he can meet Coach Troussier's requirements. However, his injury has caused him to miss the opportunity to play in the next 2 matches.
Coach Troussier is forced to look for new tactical options. Nham Manh Dung or Nguyen Tien Linh can play the role of target striker when Dinh Bac and Van Toan play on the two wings. In midfield and defense, Coach Troussier will have more adjustments to strengthen the strength of the Vietnamese team.
The Vietnamese team had a difficult away match at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium. Five days later, the Vietnamese team returned and welcomed the Indonesian team at My Dinh Stadium.
The Vietnamese team's goal is to get at least 1 point away from home. Captain Do Hung Dung said he and his teammates want to win at home and aim to pass the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup.
