Đoàn Văn Hậu showed up lively at the CAHN training session, easing worries about his injury following the round 12 V-League game.
The bright appearance of Đoàn Văn Hậu at the recent training brought very positive signals, especially as the 1999-born defender was seen happily joking with his junior Nguyễn Đình Bắc. These images quickly drew attention, somewhat alleviating the anxiety that had surrounded the injury that forced Văn Hậu off the field in round 12 of the 2025/26 V-League.
In the latest training session, Văn Hậu fully participated with his teammates and completed the entire group training program. He showed a relaxed spirit, moved agilely, and quickly adapted to the training pace. The moment Văn Hậu smiled and chatted cheerfully with Đình Bắc not only created a positive atmosphere on the field but also demonstrated that the defender’s mindset had stabilized after days of worry for fans.
Just a few days earlier, Văn Hậu had caused fans to hold their breath when he had to be stretchered off during the match against Ninh Bình on February 1. A heavy collision at the 56th minute made him clutch his leg in pain, recalling unhappy memories of persistent injuries that had severely impacted his career in the past.
Therefore, caution and concern were understandable, especially as the team is entering a period of dense fixtures both domestically and regionally. However, subsequent medical examinations brought good news when it was confirmed that Văn Hậu only suffered a mild muscle strain, with no serious damage detected and no need for complex treatment.
Văn Hậu’s early return to training is seen as clear evidence of a smooth recovery process. Nevertheless, the coaching staff remains cautious. Before the Southeast Asian Club Championship (Shopee Cup) match, it is likely that Văn Hậu will not be fielded to minimize the risk of re-injury.
Although he cannot immediately return to play, the image of Đoàn Văn Hậu appearing bright alongside Đình Bắc carries great significance. It not only signals a positive physical recovery but also boosts confidence that Văn Hậu will soon come back strong, continuing to play an important role in the journey ahead.
