Xuân Son returns to Vietnam, preparing for the decisive stage of the season

Following his break in Brazil, Nguyễn Xuân Son has returned to Vietnam to train with Thép Xanh Nam Định, focusing on the second half of the V.League 2025/26 season and his ambitions with the national team.

After a short family holiday in Brazil, forward Nguyễn Xuân Son has come back to Vietnam and promptly rejoined Thép Xanh Nam Định club to start a new training phase. Recent photos on the club’s official page show the entire team on the training ground with Xuân Son standing out prominently, signaling his readiness to return to top-level competition.

Xuân Son’s return to training holds significant meaning for Nam Định as the team rushes to prepare for the second phase of V.League 2025/26 and targets success in Southeast Asian competitions. With a demanding schedule and high technical requirements, the comeback of the 1997-born striker is seen as a major boost to the ambitions of Thiên Trường Stadium’s home team.

Previously, during his vacation in Brazil, Xuân Son maintained a high-intensity personal training routine. Notably, he shared photos and videos wearing the Vietnam national team jersey while running on sand, demonstrating his commitment to maintaining fitness and readiness for upcoming challenges. This has helped the 1997-born forward quickly regain rhythm upon returning to club training.

On a personal level, Xuân Son openly expresses his determination to reach peak form soon. Besides aiming to contribute to Nam Định in the season’s crucial phase, he is also focusing on the important match between Vietnam and Malaysia at the end of March. This game is considered a significant contest in the national team’s upcoming journey under the head coach.

After suffering a serious injury in the 2024 ASEAN Cup final, Xuân Son returned earlier than expected and quickly proved his value with important goals for both his club and the national team. His strong condition during recent training sessions is a positive sign not only for Nam Định but also for Vietnamese football fans.
