There must be a detailed and thorough script to help Xuan Son re-export in the best way
Xuan Son went on the operating table on January 6 (one day after the 2024 AFF Cup final in Thailand. One of the especially important periods was the period when he was preparing to return to play.
That is stage 4 (4-6 months after surgery) – a decisive stage for Xuan Son’s career. After about 4 months, when the muscles, bones and joints have recovered significantly, Xuan Son enters the final stage of recovery – preparing to return to competition. The main goal of this phase is to fully restore mobility and coordination, ensuring he can compete at a high level.
Xuan Son continues to perform exercises that simulate real competition situations, helping him get used to fast and powerful movements, similar to those in real matches. Body coordination exercises and technical skills are focused on improving speed, strength and quick reaction ability.
This is the stage where Xuan Son will test his abilities in a simulated competition environment, thereby adjusting the necessary skills before returning to the official field.
Recovery time and forecast: After 6 months, if the recovery process goes smoothly, Xuan Son can completely return to official competition. However, ensuring he can reintegrate into the team and play at a high level requires a thorough preparation process.
If there are no complications, Xuan Son will come back strong
Master Nguyen Quyet Thang – Chief Technician of the Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Center of Vinmec Hospital said: “Xuan Son’s rehabilitation roadmap is divided into 4 stages with clear goals. In 1- The first 2 weeks aim to control pain, activate neuromuscular function and restore mobility and prevent complications, if any. The next stages aim to increase strength, improve range of motion and balance level and prepare physically 6 months of maximum intensity training, if standards are met, Son will be allowed to compete again.”
It is expected that after about 8 months, if there are no complications and the recovery process is not hindered, Xuan Son can achieve peak performance, return strongly and make important contributions to the national team. Thus, around July 2025, Xuan Son will be allowed to re-export and by around September 2025, he can regain his original top form.
The injury is not only a challenge for Xuan Son but also an opportunity for him to show his perseverance, effort and tireless fighting spirit. Scientific and reasonable recovery steps will help Xuan Son return to the field soon and continue to contribute to the Vietnamese team.
