On December 3-4, VFF leaders visited Nguyen Thi Van and Nguyen Van Truong, who are recovering from injuries: Van suffered a fractured left clavicle, while Van Truong is recovering after anterior cruciate ligament surgery.
On December 3rd and 4th, leaders of the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) directly visited two players who suffered injuries and were unable to participate in the SEA Games 33: midfielder Nguyen Thi Van (women's national team) and midfielder Nguyen Van Truong. The visit focused on boosting morale, updating on recovery progress, and coordinating with the medical team to support the players' return to the field according to the prescribed protocol.
Nguyen Thi Van: fractured her left clavicle while preparing for the 33rd SEA Games.
On the afternoon of December 4th, General Secretary Nguyen Van Phu visited Nguyen Thi Van at the Vietnam Youth Football Training Center. During training with the national women's team for the 33rd SEA Games, the midfielder suffered a fractured left clavicle and had to withdraw from the tournament.
On behalf of the VFF leadership, General Secretary Nguyen Van Phu encouraged Van to adhere to the treatment plan prescribed by the doctors at Vinmec Hospital. Currently, she is wearing a support brace and performing static exercises with her legs. Her return date will depend on her recovery progress and the professional assessment of the doctors.
Nguyen Van Truong: Recovering after surgery, VFF stands by Hanoi FC.
On the afternoon of December 3rd, Vice President Nguyen Xuan Vu and General Secretary Nguyen Van Phu visited Nguyen Van Truong at the Hanoi FC training center, where he is recovering from an injury sustained during surgery. On behalf of the Standing Committee of the Vietnam Football Federation, Vice President Nguyen Xuan Vu encouraged the player to maintain an optimistic spirit and strive for rehabilitation.
General Secretary Nguyen Van Phu conveyed greetings from the President of the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF), Tran Quoc Tuan, and also discussed Van Truong's recovery process with the doctors and medical staff. The VFF stated that it will continue to support Hanoi FC, creating the best conditions for the player's speedy recovery. According to information released by the VFF, Nguyen Van Truong has successfully undergone surgery for an anterior cruciate ligament injury.
Professional impact: a gap in the midfield of the women's national team.
Nguyen Thi Van's injury has weakened the national women's team's midfield personnel. This impact is even more apparent given the absence of Chuong Thi Kieu (due to injury) and Nguyen Thi Tuyet Dung (who has transitioned to coaching). Therefore, compensating for the lack of fitness, experience, and the ability to control the tempo of the game in midfield has become a major challenge for the coaching staff.
