After settling down and resting, the Vietnamese team had a light training session tonight (December 23) at Bishan Stadium, Singapore.
At this time, the weather in the lion island is not too hot, but there is high humidity and persistent light rain, which more or less affects the team's training.
However, coach Kim Sang-sik and his players still maintained good spirits to actively prepare for the upcoming first leg of the semi-final. Having just experienced a flight, the players focused on recovering their physical strength according to the coaching staff's training plan.
According to the update, midfielder Nguyen Quang Hai and striker Nguyen Thanh Chung practiced separately with the doctor. However, they did not have any serious problems and can return to the next practice session.
Regarding the force, the Vietnamese team currently only has Nguyen Van Toan with a ligament injury, needing 3-4 weeks to recover, so he will be absent in the two upcoming semi-final matches. This is also a big loss for coach Kim Sang-sik, forcing him to find a replacement and adjustment plan.
The Vietnamese team has two more training sessions before the official match, which will take place on December 26 at Jalan Besar Stadium. Xuan Son and his teammates are expected to face many difficulties when playing on this artificial turf.
