According to coach Philippe Troussier's plan, the list of Vietnam's team participating in the 2023 Asian Cup was announced this afternoon (January 4) at a press conference. However, the recent actions of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) have reduced the curiosity and excitement of fans and players.
The AFC has announced the full list of teams participating in the Asian Cup on its website. However, this is only a tentative list, and is provisional. Teams have the right to adjust the list until the last day before the Asian Championship finals begin.
The list that Coach Troussier announced this afternoon may be different from the AFC announcement, but there will likely not be many changes. Curiosity will only be on the 4 "survival tickets" to Qatar.
Coach Troussier has not yet finalized the official list of the Vietnam team.
Coach Philippe Troussier will bring 30 players to Qatar, then depending on the specific situation (such as injuries or technical calculations), he will eliminate 4 people. Yesterday and today (January 4), the French coach eliminated a total of 20 players (including the national team and U23).
In the list of Vietnam team just announced by AFC, Nguyen Tuan Anh, Do Duy Manh and Nguyen Hoang Duc have not recovered from injuries. Tuan Anh and Duy Manh may return in time to play in the opening match.
Hoang Duc suffered from anterior and posterior tibiotalar ligament swelling, posterior talofibular ligament swelling, and soft tissue swelling of the left ankle. The injury was not serious, Hoang Duc needed 2 weeks of rest to be able to train normally. Although there was not much time left to prepare, Coach Troussier still decided to patiently wait for the midfielder of The Cong Viettel to recover.
According to the doctors' diagnosis, Nguyen Hoang Duc is able to enter the field from the second match of the group stage against the Indonesian team on January 19.
