According to the Daily News, Xie Weijun, whose nasal bone injury is in stable condition, has shown a strong willingness to fight by making it clear to the coaching staff of the national soccer team that his injury is not a concern.
The Chinese team is about to travel to Bangkok to begin their journey to the Asian Zone 36 of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers. According to a comprehensive analysis of multiple sources, this time China has kept an unusually low profile ahead of the tournament, hoping to come back safely from the away games. However, the test is also very big.
The current injury situation within the national soccer team is both encouraging and worrying. The good news is that Zhang Yuning's physical recovery is in line with expectations, and he is likely to play in the China-Thailand game. Xie Weijun's nasal bone injury is relatively stable, and Xie Weijun, who has always been known to be "tough on himself", has shown a strong willingness to fight by telling the coaching staff that they don't have to think about his injury. Other injured players are gradually recovering with the efforts of the medical support team. Lin Liangming was at risk, and although he was able to participate in training, he was not allowed to take part in confrontational training for insurance purposes, which reduced his ability to attack from the left side of the field.
The national soccer team's preparations have not been perfect under the current circumstances, and Thailand has been their nemesis on many occasions. Thailand's head coach Por Kim has defined the November 16th match as "the most crucial match for Thai soccer in a decade" and therefore expects to make a historic breakthrough. The match against the national soccer team will put more pressure on them, and how to deal with this pressure will be one of the key elements to test the coaching ability of Jankovic.
