He shined in Thailand, yet Van Hau still faces disappointing news after a long absence from the pitch.

After a lengthy injury layoff, Doan Van Hau made a notable comeback wearing the Hanoi Police jersey in the draw against Buriram United. The defender born in 1999 played the full 90 minutes, demonstrating solid physical fitness, good game reading, and reliability in one-on-one duels.

On the field, Van Hau not only fulfilled his defensive duties but also contributed to the team's build-up play. His accurate long passes and proactive support in attack diversified the capital team’s playing style. Despite these positive signs, Van Hau still faced unfortunate news because his transfer value dropped sharply after being almost “absent” from football for over two years.

The Vietnamese national team warrior has officially returned to the pitch.

According to Transfermarkt data, the player’s value has significantly declined during his long-term injury break. From around 300,000 Euros (approximately 9.2 billion VND), his current value is about 150,000 Euros (4.6 billion VND), clearly reflecting the negative impact of his prolonged absence from competitive matches.

The main reason stems from a complicated Achilles tendon injury which forced Van Hau to undergo surgery and extended treatment. His continuous absence at both club and national team levels has almost “frozen” his image and professional value in the transfer market, despite his abilities being highly regarded by experts.

If he can maintain his fitness and stable form, Doan Van Hau can fully restore his transfer value in the near future. More importantly, his return is significant for the Vietnam national team, as the left flank urgently needs a player capable of strong challenges, rich experience, and balancing defense with attack.
