Dinh Bac and Viet Anh trained separately with medical staff during Vietnam's final session on October 4 before the third-place match against Malaysia. Dan Tri reports that Dinh Bac's precise condition remains unclear, while Viet Anh may still recover in time to play. The fitness concerns require coach Kim Sang-sik to consider alternative personnel. The fixture is scheduled for 16:00 on October 5 in Jakarta; neither player's absence should be treated as confirmed.
