Xuân Son brings good news to the Vietnam national team

Nguyễn Xuân Son has recently gotten encouraging updates in his rehabilitation, with sports specialists evaluating his recovery positively.

Nguyễn Xuân Son, the naturalized Brazilian forward, suffered a serious injury in the second leg final of the ASEAN Cup 2024 against the Thailand national team, where he broke his leg. However, after a long period of treatment and recovery, Xuân Son is showing very promising signs of healing back home in Brazil.

According to top professionals in the sports field, especially renowned sports doctor Dilson Conceicao Neto and physiotherapy expert Joao Botelho, Xuân Son’s recovery process is going very well.

Dr. Dilson Conceicao Neto, who is directly overseeing Xuân Son’s rehabilitation, stated: "Rafaelson (Xuân Son’s Brazilian name) is recovering under my supervision. I am grateful to Vitória Club for providing the proper treatment environment for him." This is a very positive assessment, reflecting the dedicated and professional support from the medical team that is helping Xuân Son recover quickly.

Physiotherapy specialist Joao Botelho also updated Xuân Son’s recovery progress on his personal page, stating: "He will be back soon and scoring many goals!"This statement shows strong confidence in Xuân Son’s return, affirming that the forward will come back with high performance after full recovery.

Notably, Nguyễn Xuân Son is not choosing to rest passively; instead, he is following an intensive training program that includes exercises to increase muscle strength, endurance, and flexibility. Experts have observed his persistence and determination during recovery, which will help Xuân Son not only return stronger but also maintain a high level of performance.

With supervision from top specialists and his strong fighting spirit, Nguyễn Xuân Son is steadily approaching his comeback. He will surely be a key player for the team when he returns to competition, and experts believe that after recovery, Xuân Son will make a significant impact on the field.

In the first leg of Group G in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers last June, the absence of Nguyễn Xuân Son caused difficulties for the Vietnam team, resulting in a 0-4 loss to Malaysia, a team with many quality naturalized players. Therefore, not only the Nam Định Steel team but also the Vietnam national team eagerly anticipate Xuân Son’s return, especially for the revenge match against Malaysia in March 2026.
