BANGKOK (25 December 2023) – Star midfielder Chanathip Songkrasin has been left out of Thailand’s friendly against Asia’s top side Japan on New Year’s Day.
ASEAN champions Thailand will suit up against Japan at the Tokyo National Stadium on 1 January 2024.
It is believed that Chanathip is still nursing an injury he sustained in the second round qualifiers of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
However, veteran striker Teerasil Dangda is still in the squad under newly-appointed head coach Masatada Ishii.
The players will report for training on 27 Dec 2023 before leaving for Japan two days later.
