The player born in 1997 showed signs of a positive recovery when participating in basic exercises, including warm-up running and practicing with the ball with her teammates.
Xuan Son suffered a serious injury in the second leg of the 2024 ASEAN Cup final. After a successful surgery, he entered the recovery process with a scientific and strict roadmap.
Currently, this naturalized player is in the final stages of his rehabilitation, and if he continues to maintain his current progress, he can return to play in September.
The possibility of returning to the field at the right time opens up a great opportunity for Xuan Son to participate in the match against Nepal in the third round of the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers, scheduled to take place in October 2025.
This is good news not only for Nam Dinh Steel Blue but also for coach Kim Sang-sik, who is in dire need of a stable and experienced striker for the Vietnam national team.
In addition to the positive recovery process, Xuan Son has also signed a pen to extend the contract with Nam Dinh until 2031, demonstrating his commitment to stay with the team in Thanh Nam for a long time.
This action shows the stability and clear orientation in the career of the player who played for Da Nang and Binh Dinh clubs.
The return of Nguyen Xuan Son at this important time not only strengthens Nam Dinh's strength in V.League 2025-2026, but also significantly increases the depth of the national team's squad in upcoming tournaments.
