On the afternoon of March 21, the Vietnamese team entered the first training session in the gathering to prepare for the matches at the end of March against Bangladesh and Malaysia. Notably, striker Nguyen Xuan Son had physical problems and had to leave the training ground early to check with the medical department.
According to records, Xuan Son participated in warm-up and training with the whole team before showing signs of pain. The coaching staff proactively let this player temporarily stop training to monitor his health status further. This information has received much attention because Xuan Son is in good form in the club's colors before joining the national team.
In this gathering, naturalized striker Do Hoang Hen also became the focus of attention when he was called up to the national team for the first time. The player from Hanoi Club showed excitement on the gathering day and is expected to create more options in the attack.
According to the plan, the Vietnamese team has about 5 days of training before the friendly match with Bangladesh at Hang Day Stadium on March 26, before entering the rematch against Malaysia on March 31. These are important matches to help coach Kim Sang-sik review the force, test the squad and prepare for the next goals in 2026.
Xuan Son's condition will continue to be monitored in the upcoming training sessions, as the coaching staff aims to ensure the best force for the two upcoming matches.
