According to recent information, striker Nguyen Tien Linh has suffered a relapse of his injury during a training session with the Vietnam team.
Tien Linh (middle) was injured while training with the Vietnamese team.
This is very worrying because in just a few days, the Vietnamese team will play the opening match of the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers against Laos.
If things do not develop in a positive direction, Tien Linh will most likely be absent from the match against Laos.
This will certainly make coach Kim Sang-sik worried because the star player of Binh Duong Club is the best striker of the Vietnamese team.
Before joining the national team, Tien Linh had an explosive performance in the 2024-2025 V-League, scoring 10 goals and leading the race for the Golden Boot.
In the friendly match with Cambodia, coach Kim Sang-sik left Tien Linh on the bench and only let him enter the field in the second half.
But in this competition, the 2024 Vietnam Golden Ball did not leave any mark.
According to the schedule, the match between Vietnam and Laos in the final qualifying round of the 2027 Asian Cup will take place on March 25 at Binh Duong Stadium.
Before the match, the "Golden Star Warriors" were rated by experts as superior to Laos.
But in recent years, Lao football has been developing quite strongly and can completely make it difficult for coach Kim Sang-sik and his team.
However, if they play to their full potential, the red team will probably still get 3 points against the team from the land of a million elephants.
