Hoàng Đức is optimistic that Quang Hải will be fit and participate in the upcoming Vietnam national team gathering.
On the afternoon of October 12, the Vietnam national team continued their training session to prepare for the rematch against Nepal in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers. After missing a day, midfielder Nguyễn Hoàng Đức returned to practice with his teammates.
When asked about the group of young players, the Vietnam midfielder said:"In this training camp, Coach Kim Sang Sik has called up many U23 Vietnamese players. This is a positive sign to help the young players prepare for SEA Games 33 at the end of this year. Additionally, there is healthy competition between the old and new players on the team.
"I am very sorry that Quang Hải is not with the Vietnam team this time. Hopefully, he will recover and come back to the team next time", Hoàng Đức unexpectedly mentioned Quang Hải.
