Coach Kim Sang-sik admits he needs to find alternative solutions should Nguyen Quang Hai and Nguyen Hoang Duc be unavailable simultaneously.

Having secured an early spot in the Asian Cup 2027, coach Kim Sang-sik gains additional opportunities to experiment with the Vietnam national team, with naturalized duo Nguyen Xuan Son and Do Hoang Hen taking center stage.

The two talented defenders will be called up to the Vietnam national team for the first time under coach Kim Sang-sik, after a long absence.
