Four Công an TP.HCM players—Lê Giang Patrik, Khoa Ngô, Minh Hoàng and Nhật Minh—are expected to travel directly from Jakarta to Thailand after the 2026 FIFA ASEAN Cup rather than return home with Vietnam's national team. SGGP reported that assistant coach Phùng Thanh Phương confirmed the arrangement, allowing them to rejoin their club before its ASEAN club competition encounter with Ratchaburi. The report concerns travel preparations and squad availability ahead of that fixture.
