In their opening match against Vietnam, Akira Nishino handed a debut to midfielder Phitiwat Sukjitthamakul. The Chiangrai United star performed excellently as a box-to-box player, fighting tenaciously in the midfield and linking up play down the left side of the pitch. However, he may not be the only player to make their national team debut during this international break, as four other players in the War Elephants&#8217; squad are yet to win their inaugural cap.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n        <div id=\"tribe-slideshow-wrap-19905\" data-id=\"19905\"\n             class=\"slideshow slideshow_id_19905\">\n            <div class=\"tribe-slideshow\" id=\"slideshow19905\">\n                                <div class=\"swiper-wrapper\">\n                                                <div class=\"swiper-slide\">\n                                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/football-tribe.com\/asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/09\/ED1LRoJUYAAzqNk.jpg\"\/>\n                                    <script>\n        var currentSite = 'asia';\n        var isMalaysiaCampaign =\n            '';\n        var isIndonesiaCampaign =\n            '';\n        var postId = '19904';\n    <\/script>\n                                    <div class=\"slideshow_text_content\">\n                                    <h3>Nitipong Selanon<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Position:\u00a0<\/strong>Right Back<\/p>\n<p><strong>Age:\u00a0<\/strong>26<\/p>\n<p><strong>Club:\u00a0<\/strong>Port FC<\/p>\n<p>Port's Nitipong Selanon has been one of the most consistent and reliable players this season, consistently turning out solid performances every week at club level. After making the final 23-man squad for the first time, he is competing with Tristan Do for a spot in the starting lineup. He is viewed as a more stable option defensively than his counterpart and could be the right man for the job if Nishino is looking to change things up.<\/p>\n                                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                                                        <div class=\"swiper-slide\">\n                                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/football-tribe.com\/asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/09\/ED8BEasU0AAyptJ-800x533.jpg\"\/>\n                                    <script>\n        var currentSite = 'asia';\n        var isMalaysiaCampaign =\n            '';\n        var isIndonesiaCampaign =\n            '';\n        var postId = '19904';\n    <\/script>\n                                    <div class=\"slideshow_text_content\">\n                                    <h3>Shinnaphat Lee-Oh<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Position:\u00a0<\/strong>Center Back<\/p>\n<p><strong>Age:\u00a0<\/strong>22<\/p>\n<p><strong>Club:\u00a0<\/strong>Chiangrai United<\/p>\n<p>The U23 national team captain has played an incredible number of games for a man of his age and has been an ever-present in Chiangrai United's astute backline this season.

In his first season in top-flight Thai football, the 19-year-old was excellent on loan at newly-promoted Chiangmai FC, leading parent club Chiangrai United to recall him in their effort to win the title. His arrival has given the Beetles much more flexibility in the attack, and he has already found the back of the net with some vital goals. Ekanit seems to effortlessly jump from one level to the next; a quality that could serve him well if he gets the nod from Nishino this evening.<\/p>\n                                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                                            <\/div>\n                <div class=\"row\">\n                    <div class=\"col-lg-5 col-4\">\n                        <div class=\"swiper-button-prev\">\n                        <span class=\"fas fa-chevron-left\"\n                              aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"col-lg-2 col-4\">\n                        <div class=\"swiper-pagination\"><\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"col-lg-5 col-4\">\n                        <div class=\"swiper-button-next\">\n                        <span class=\"fas fa-chevron-right\"\n                              aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"text-content\">\n        \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gian Chansrichawla Football Tribe Thailand &nbsp; Thailand prepares to face Indonesia in their second game of World Cup qualifying tonight.
