Van Hau officially returns to the football field

Van Hau officially returns to the field following an extended injury period, delivering exciting news for supporters of Cong An Ha Noi Club and the Vietnam national squad.

Fans of Cong An Ha Noi Club and the Vietnam national team have just received wonderful news from Doan Van Hau. On his personal Facebook page, the defender born in 1999 shared a series of photos from a friendly match against Hanoi FC, clearly signaling that he has almost fully recovered and is ready to return after more than a year away.

Images of Van Hau wearing the Cong An Ha Noi jersey, moving agilely and showing confident form, have deeply moved fans. After a long struggle with injury, his return to the pitch is not only a personal joy but also a positive sign for both the club and the national team of Vietnam.

Since September 2023, Van Hau had to step away from football due to an Achilles tendon injury, a complicated condition requiring a lengthy recovery. During this time, he repeatedly traveled to Singapore and South Korea for specialized treatment combined with a strict rehabilitation regimen. His persistence, effort, and professional attitude helped him overcome the toughest phase of his career.

According to data from Transfermarkt, in the 2023/2024 season alone, Van Hau missed over 600 days due to injury. Including previous long absences caused by knee damage, the total time away from the field has surpassed 1,100 days — a figure that would challenge the determination of any player. Instead of giving up, Van Hau chose to fight and train relentlessly to regain himself.

Doan Van Hau’s return holds great significance for Cong An Ha Noi in their quest for the V-League championship. For the Vietnam national team, it also provides a boost to the defense, especially in the Asian Cup 2027 qualifiers.

After more than a year of dedicated recovery, Van Hau is ready to step onto the field, closing a dark chapter caused by injury and opening a new phase in his career. His comeback is not just the return of a player but a symbol of the resilient spirit of Vietnamese football.
