VFF said on October 7 that Nguyễn Tài Lộc is expected to need around three weeks to recover, while Đỗ Hoàng Hên requires at least a month after injuries at the FIFA ASEAN Cup. Hoàng Hên's existing knee problem may prolong treatment and requires further assessment. Nguyễn Xuân Son, who injured his hamstring against the Philippines, is expected to need roughly eight weeks. VFF will work with their clubs to monitor recovery. These estimates do not establish confirmed return dates.
