In this training session, besides familiar faces such as Nguyen Quang Hai, Nguyen Hoang Duc, Tran Duy Manh, Bui Tien Dung, Nguyen Thanh Chung, Nguyen Tien Linh..., the coaching staff also gave opportunities to many new players such as striker Pham Gia Hung, defender Tran Hoang Phuc or young center back Dinh Quang Kiet.
However, the team's strength has had some notable changes. Specifically, before the team gathering, midfielder Doan Ngoc Tan suffered a broken rib injury after a strong collision in the match between Dong A Thanh Hoa and Hong Linh Ha Tinh in round 3 of LPBank V.League 1-2025/26.
Although his health has stabilized after being hospitalized, the 31-year-old midfielder did not recover in time to participate in this training session. In addition to Ngoc Tan, two other players, Nguyen Quang Hai and Nguyen Hai Long, were also unable to participate due to injury.
To strengthen his squad, head coach Kim Sang-sik has called up left-back Phan Du Hoc (HAGL Club). Born in 2001, graduated from the 4th class of HAGL JMG Academy, Du Hoc was called up to the Vietnam U23 team before coach Kim Sang-sik. In the V.League, this player is also a regular player for HAGL.
On August 29, Phan Du Hoc was present at the team's base. In addition, the Vietnamese team has enough players from the clubs Hanoi, Hanoi Police, Ninh Binh, Nam Dinh , Ho Chi Minh City Police and Hoang Anh Gia Lai. The group of players from The Cong - Viettel and Becamex Ho Chi Minh City will join the team after August 30 due to being busy playing the late match of round 3 of LPBank V.League 1- 2025/26.
As coach Kim Sang-sik is leading Vietnam U23 in the 2026 AFC U23 Championship Qualifiers, the national team will be temporarily assigned to assistant Dinh Hong Vinh to directly manage.
During the training period at the Vietnam Youth Football Training Center, the Vietnam team will have two internal friendly matches, respectively against the Hanoi Police Club on September 4 and the Nam Dinh Blue Steel Club on September 7.
The change in personnel in this gathering will be a challenge but also an opportunity for the Vietnamese team to test and develop a new lineup.
Under the temporary leadership of assistant Dinh Hong Vinh, the whole team is working hard to practice and prepare carefully for the upcoming important matches in the final qualifying round of the 2027 Asian Cup.
