Defender Vu Van Thanh only suffered a strained hamstring. The injury of the Hanoi Police Club player is not serious. Van Thanh can recover in the next few days, without affecting the training plan and preparation for the AFF Cup (ASEAN Cup) 2024.

In the match between CAHN Club and Binh Dinh at Hang Day Stadium on the evening of November 20, Van Thanh had to leave the field with a limp in the first half. Fans of the Vietnamese team have reason to worry as the gathering to prepare for the ASEAN Cup (AFF Cup) is approaching very soon.

However, according to the latest update, Van Thanh only suffered a thigh strain due to overexertion. The defender born in 1996 only needs to rest for 3 to 5 days to reach his best physical condition.

This information helps coach Kim Sang-sik ease his worries about his team. The Vietnamese team is lacking in full-backs.

The Korean coach asked the doctors of the Vietnamese team to closely monitor any cases of pain when they come to the training camp from the club. On November 22, the members will have light training at the youth training center of the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF). Mr. Kim will listen to detailed reports on the health of the players before leaving for Korea for training.

The Vietnamese team will also have three friendly matches in Korea. These are important training sessions to help coach Kim Sang-sik perfect his tactics. The Vietnamese team will meet Ulsan Citizen FC of K.League 3. The next two matches, the opponents will be Deagu FC and Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors FC, who are playing in K.League 1.

On December 6, the Vietnamese team will travel to Vientiane to prepare for the opening match against the host team Laos at the AFF Cup 2024. One day before the match, coach Kim Sang-sik will make the final decision on the official list of 26 players for the AFF Cup.
