Central defender Bui Tien Dung sustained a knee injury and will be unable to join the Vietnam national team for the March FIFA Days, preparing for the second leg against Malaysia in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers.

According to the doctor's diagnosis, Bui Tien Dung has a torn knee meniscus. He does not require surgery but must rest from play for 6-8 weeks before returning to the pitch.

This defender has missed the last two matches of The Cong Viettel FC in the V-League. Despite the absence of their defensive captain, The Cong Viettel maintained solidity, securing two 1-0 victories against Thep Xanh Nam Dinh and Hanoi FC.
