Thailand have selected their squad for the upcoming international break, where they will face a friendly match with Congo before a World Cup Qualifying bout against the UAE.
The War Elephants have made four changes to the provisional squad. Thitipan Puangchan, Peeradol Chamrasamee and Tristan Do all withdrew from the squad due to injury, while U23 captain Shinnaphat Lee-Oh will now be joining up with the SEA Games squad.
In their place come Port’s center-back Elias Dolah, Buriram left-back Korrakot Wiriyadomsiri, Muangthong United striker Teerasil Dangda, and 16-year-old striker Suphanat Mueanta, also of Buriram.
The Thai National Team’s official social media accounts released the squad yesterday:
