Coach Park Hang-seo has announced Vietnam’s 27-man roster to prepare for the upcoming World Cup 2022 qualifiers against the UAE and Thailand. Vietnamese-Czech goalkeeper Filip Nguyen was not named in the list, together with Hong Quan, Tien Linh, and Van Vu.
The lineup is almost the same as the previous 3 matches, with goalies Van Lam, Tuan Manh and Van Cuong, defenders Thanh Chung, Duy Manh, Van Kien, Van Hau, Van Thanh, and newcomer Le Van Dai of Thanh Hoa.
Park still keeps his faith in midfielders Tuan Anh, Duc Huy, Quang Hai and Hung Dung. Hoang Thinh is also called up after corneltis treatment.
The forwards include Van Toan, Cong Phuong, Anh Duc, Minh Tuan, Viet Phong and Hanoi FC’s Van Dai who is summoned for the first time.
Filip Nguyen will have to wait for his chance until March next year when Vietnam take on Malaysia.
The national team will train in Hanoi between Oct 29 and Nov 20.
