According to some sources, striker Nguyen Xuan Son will likely be called back to the Vietnam national team by coach Kim Sang-sik in November. This is a training session to prepare for the match against Laos in the second leg of the 3rd qualifying round of the 2027 Asian Cup.
In addition to Xuan Son, two other Nam Dinh players, Nguyen Van Vi and Dang Van Toi, could also be added to the list. The team from Thanh Nam is said to be ready for Xuan Son to join the national team, as he has almost recovered from an injury and returned to play 2 weeks ago.
Previously, on October 11, the striker born in 1997 returned to play for about 15 minutes in the friendly match between Nam Dinh and PVF-CAND, marking a positive start in the journey to recover from injuries.
It is known that the team from Thanh Nam is planning to bring Xuan Son back to the list of registered players from the second leg of V.League 2025-2026. But in the beginning, Xuan Son will play step by step, only coming off the bench to ensure his physical recovery.
Although he has just returned, Xuan Son's appearance still has a special meaning for the Vietnam national team. If he continues to maintain his form and recover well, coach Kim Sang-sik can completely use him in the match against Laos. Against an opponent who is rated lower, Xuan Son can gradually return without having to play too much.
