Bui Hoang Viet Anh and Do Hoang Hen are being assessed before Vietnam's October 5 meeting with Malaysia. BongdaPlus reported that Viet Anh developed a muscle problem against Pakistan and was substituted to reduce injury risk, while Hoang Hen also left the match early. Kim Sang Sik said the staff would monitor their condition before deciding on selection. Both may miss the next match, but the report did not confirm a recovery timetable or a final decision that either player is unavailable.
