Xuan Son 'writhed' on the hospital bed, Duy Manh and Thanh Chung 'responded' pitifully?

After a successful surgery, Nguyen Xuan Son entered the physical therapy and rehabilitation phase with optimal support from doctors and experts.

The training and nutrition program is calculated for Xuan Son to ensure a quick bone healing process. It is expected that if all training processes go smoothly, after about 8-9 months. In the latest image, Xuan Son lightly exercises his back and thigh muscles, and especially he can now exercise with small weights.

Despite still being in quite a bit of pain, the Vietnamese striker showed great effort in his recovery exercises. In theory, with this type of injury, Xuan Son has the ability to return to his previous form. However, in reality, this depends on many other factors.

MSc. Nguyen Quyet Thang, Chief Technician at the Center for Orthopedics and Sports Medicine, Vinmec Times City, said that after surgery, Xuan Son's rehabilitation journey will last at least 6 months, divided into 4 stages with clear goals.

In the first 1-2 weeks, the goal is to control pain, activate the neuromuscular system, restore mobility and prevent complications if any. The next stages are aimed at increasing strength, improving range of motion, balance and physical preparation. After 6 months of maximum intensity training, if the standards are met, Son will be allowed to compete again.

From the time of surgery, if the rehabilitation process is followed well, the player can train at maximum intensity after about 6 months. The time to return to competition cannot be confirmed in advance but will have to be determined through movement analysis tests. According to studies on football players, it takes about 9 months on average to be able to return to competition.

According to Master Nguyen Quyet Thang, the biggest challenge in Xuan Son's case is the transition from high-intensity activities to an injured state, forcing limited movement.

This not only affects the physical but also the mental, requiring close coordination between specialties such as nutrition, psychology, rehabilitation, surgery, along with understanding and strict adherence to Son's treatment regimen.

After surgery, Son needs to follow a scientific exercise regimen, including time control, weight bearing level, and appropriate exercises for both the injured area and the whole body, to maintain physical strength and promote effective bone healing.

At the ASEAN Cup 2024, Xuan Son scored 7 goals and 2 assists, helping him win the double individual titles of Top Scorer and Best Player. The 27-year-old striker was honored to receive the Third Class Labor Medal from the President for his contributions to the Vietnam National Team. Later, on January 9, striker Nguyen Xuan Son posted a photo of himself holding the Medal in his hospital room, with an extremely proud expression on his face.

One day after returning home, Vietnamese national team players such as Duy Manh, Van Toan, and Tien Linh quickly visited Xuan Son at the hospital. "My friend Rafaelson Fernandes. Try to come back strong soon. We love you and we are with you," Duy Manh wrote on his personal page. Tien Linh and Xuan Son made a heart-shaped gesture with their hands and promised to "play together soon".

With the Vietnamese team winning the 2024 ASEAN Cup, central defender Do Duy Manh and his family held a ceremony to report their achievements at the temple in his hometown of Dong Anh on January 8. The day before, he, coach Kim Sang-sik and the players offered incense to report their achievements at Hung Temple.

After the ASEAN Cup ended, Doan Ngoc Tan was the only player of the Vietnamese team who did not return home. He stayed in Thailand to play with Thanh Hoa FC in the ASEAN Club Championship. In the match against BG Pathum United on the evening of January 8, Ngoc Tan scored the only goal for Thanh Hoa FC to tie the score at 1-1.

The 30-year-old midfielder was also voted "Star Of The Match". On January 9, his wife, Le Ngoc Thuy Anh, posted a photo of her husband holding a medal. Because Ngoc Tan's Facebook page was hacked after Vietnam's victory on the evening of January 6, Thuy Anh was unable to tag her husband in this post.

Thanh Chung shared a sweet moment of celebration with his wife Ngo To Uyen after winning the Southeast Asian championship. On the evening of January 8, the WAG of the Vietnamese team posted a happy moment when she went to the movies with her husband after many months apart.
