Striker Nguyễn Công Phượng delivers positive news with his return to the field, consistently standing out while representing Trường Tươi Đồng Nai following an extended injury break.
Recently, Công Phượng once again became the center of attention in Trường Tươi Đồng Nai’s latest friendly match against Quảng Ninh Club. Although he didn’t score directly, the 1995-born forward clearly influenced the team’s overall play. In the 61st minute, after skillfully handling the ball in midfield, Công Phượng made a decisive pass to Alex Sandro, who sprinted forward to score accurately, completing a double and sealing a 3-1 victory for the Southeast region’s representatives.
Prior to that, Công Phượng had also made a significant impact in the friendly match against Văn Hiến University held on December 13. In this game, the Nghe An-born striker marked his comeback with a beautiful goal, helping Trường Tươi Đồng Nai secure a convincing 3-0 win. The goal was not only important for the scoreline but also demonstrated the growing confidence and ball control returning to the forward, who has years of experience competing in the V-League and international tournaments.
His positive performances in two consecutive matches indicate that Công Phượng has largely overcome his physical challenges. Previously, he had to take a lengthy break due to incomplete recovery from injury. However, the fact that the 30-year-old striker can now play full matches and consistently make an impact is clear proof that his rehabilitation is progressing well.
Công Phượng’s return is considered great news for Trường Tươi Đồng Nai as they prepare for the 2025/2026 National First Division season. He not only adds a dynamic attacking option but also strengthens squad depth and boosts the team’s confidence. With his experience and ability to link play, Công Phượng is expected to be a key figure in the club’s pursuit of higher goals in the upcoming season.
