Vietnam AFF Mitsubishi Electric Cup 2022 squad: Who's in and who's out?

Dang Van Lam will likely be battling it out with Tran Nguyen Manh for the No.1 jersey, with both getting a chance between the sticks during the recent international break in September. Nguyen Van Toan is the other option in goal.<table><thead><tr><th>Name</th><th>Club</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Dang Van Lam</td><td>Topenland Binh Dinh FC</td></tr><tr><td>Tran Nguyen Manh</td><td>Viettel</td></tr><tr><td>Nguyen Van Toan</td><td>Hai Phong</td></tr></tbody></table>

GOALKEEPERS

Vietnam have a nice mix of youth and experience in defence.Arguably their most experienced defender is Que Ngoc Hai, who has made over 50 appearances for the national team, featuring at multiple AFF Championships, as well as an Asian Cup.Do Duy Manh, Bui Tien Dung, Vu Van Thanh and Doan Van Hau are among the other experienced campaigners in Vietnam's defence.<table><thead><tr><th>Name</th><th>Club</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Nguyen Thanh Binh</td><td>Viettel FC</td></tr><tr><td>Bui Tien Dung</td><td>Viettel FC</td></tr><tr><td>Bui Hoang Viet Anh</td><td>Hanoi FC</td></tr><tr><td>Nguyen Thanh Chung</td><td>Hanoi FC</td></tr><tr><td>Do Duy Manh</td><td>Hanoi FC</td></tr><tr><td>Doan Van Hau</td><td>Hanoi FC</td></tr><tr><td>Que Ngoc Hai</td><td>Song Lam Nghe An</td></tr><tr><td>Ho Tan Tai</td><td>TopenLand Binh Dinh FC</td></tr><tr><td>Vu Van Thanh</td><td>Hoang Anh Gia Lai FC</td></tr><tr><td>Nguyen Phong Hong Duy</td><td>Hoang Anh Gia Lai FC</td></tr></tbody></table>

DEFENDERS

Star player Nguyen Quang Hai offers creativity in midfield, with Do Hung Dung adding stability and balance.Promising youngster Khuat Van Khang could be a bit of a wildcard option, with the 19-year-old scoring on his debut in the 4-0 friendly win over Singapore earlier this year.<table><thead><tr><th>Name</th><th>Club</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Nguyen Quang Hai</td><td>Pau FC</td></tr><tr><td>Nguyen Hai Huy</td><td>Hai Phong FC</td></tr><tr><td>Chau Ngoc Quang</td><td>Hoang Anh Gia Lai FC</td></tr><tr><td>Do Hung Dung</td><td>Hanoi FC</td></tr><tr><td>Nguyen Tuan Anh</td><td>HAGL FC</td></tr><tr><td>Nguyen Hoang Duc</td><td>Viettel FC</td></tr><tr><td>Phan Van Duc</td><td>Cong An Nhan Dan FC</td></tr><tr><td>Khuat Van Khang</td><td>Viettel FC</td></tr></tbody></table>

MIDFIELDERS

Nguyen Tien Linh and Nguyen Van Quyet are the two biggest names in attack, with Nguyen Van Toan also offering an experienced alternative.<table><thead><tr><th>Name</th><th>Club</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Nguyen Van Quyet</td><td>Hanoi FC</td></tr><tr><td>Nguyen Van Toan</td><td>Hoang Anh Gia Lai FC</td></tr><tr><td>Pham Tuan Hai</td><td>Hanoi FC</td></tr><tr><td>Nguyen Tien Linh</td><td>Binh Duong FC</td></tr></tbody></table>

ATTACKERS

Tran is expected to start between the sticks at the AFF Mitsubishi Electric Cup 2022, having performed well in recent international games, including a thumping 3-0 win over India in September.Then, Vietnam could opt for a three-man defence with Nguyen Than Binh, Do Duy Manh and Que Ngoc Hai.They usually prefer the lone man in a sweeping midfield position to support the defence and Hung Dung Do is going to be that player for Vietnam at the AFF Cup.The four midfielders ahead of him could be Doan Van Hau, Phan Van Duc, Nguyen Quang Hai and Nguyen Tuan Anh, with Nguyen Van Toan and Nguyen Tien Linh forming a two-man attack.Vietnam XI (3-1-4-2): Nguyen Manh Tran; Que Ngoc Hai, Do Duy Manh, Nguyen Thanh Binh; Hung Dung Do; Doan Van Hau, Phan Van Duc, Nguyen Quang Hai, Nguyen Tuan Anh; Nguyen Van Toan, Nguyen Tien Linh

STRONGEST XI

As with every major tournament, there are always high-profile names who miss out for whatever reason and the AFF Championship is no exception.Luong Xuan Truong is one such name, with Nguyen Cong Phuong another big name who's set to miss out.<table><thead><tr><th>PLAYER</th><th>CLUB</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Luong Xuan Truong</td><td>Hoang Anh Gia Lai</td></tr><tr><td>Nguyen Cong Phuong</td><td>Hoang Anh Gia Lai</td></tr></tbody></table>
