Trong Hoang may miss the match against Japan

Trong Hoang has returned to Nghe An to visit his family. Recently, he has focused on treating a herniated disc at Hospital 108 (Hanoi). The Viettel player was absent from the two matches against China and Oman.

With the 32-year-old player's condition, the Vietnam national team's coaching staff will review and re-evaluate before making a decision. It is likely that Trong Hoang will return to Hanoi for a re-examination.
Midfielder Tran Minh Vuong could return to training on October 25. He has been absent from the last four matches due to a knee ligament sprain since September. Vuong has not been registered for any of the third qualifying round matches. Meanwhile, midfielder Nguyen Tuan Anh is recovering well as his knee is back to normal.
Benzema faces 10 months in prison
The first day of the trial in Varseailles, France, was a blow to Karim Benzema, who was linked to the attempted blackmail of Mathieu Valbuena. Police recordings showed Benzema talking to Karim Zenati, one of the four defendants in the case, about forcing Valbuena to meet to resolve the deletion of sensitive footage of the Olympiakos midfielder.

"Valbuena did not take us seriously. I told him that if he wanted the video to be deleted, he should go to my friend. No police, no lawyer," the recording quoted Benzema as saying on the phone to his close friend Zenati. The incident took place in 2015 when both Benzema and Valbuena were French internationals. Benzema met Valbuena at the French national team's Clairefontaine training center and said he would introduce a trustworthy person to prevent the video from being released.
"We are brothers. The words in the recording were just jokes," Zenati defended. In addition to Zenati, the case also has three defendants: Younes Houass, Axel Angot and Mustapha Zouaoui. Valbuena said that former striker Djibril Cisse warned him about the blackmail because Cisse himself was a victim of the gang.
Benzema had been offered a five-year prison sentence and a €75,000 fine. However, this time prosecutors want the Frenchman to serve a 10-month suspended sentence. "Benzema is completely innocent," said the Real Madrid striker's lawyer, Maitre Antoine Vey. "He was not directly involved in the exchange between the defendants."
Prosecutors say Benzema was a middleman in Valbuena's extortion ring and should be charged like the others. Since 2016, Benzema has asked for the trial to be postponed four times, arguing that the police wiretapping was illegal. The case has therefore waited six and a half years to come to trial.
