According to a report from Sports Weekly reporter Ma Dexing, Zhang Linpeng was unable to make it to Dalian because he was very unwell. And Wei Zhen will report to the national team tonight.
October 6 is the registration day for the new round of training for the Chinese men's national team. The Chinese Football Association (CFA) issued a notice that 26 participants in the training have rushed to Dalian to report to the national team. According to the actual situation, the national football team also added Wei Zhen, a center back from Shanghai Harbor, and Ma Zhen, a goalkeeper from Shanghai Shenhua.
The national team coaching staff supplemented their call-up of Wei Zhen as Shanghai harbor veteran Zhang Linmiao was unable to make the trip to Dalian due to serious health problems. In addition to Zhang Linlian, Wuhan Sanzhen's goalkeeper Liu Dianzuo played in the Asian Champions League away to Pohang Steelers just a few days ago, but unfortunately he suffered a recurrence of a lower back injury during the match. After reporting to the national team and undergoing an examination, the medical team concluded that he needed further rest. In this case, the coaching panel decided to call Ma Jin to the team.
When finalizing the national team training roster, Jankovic, in addition to the 26 players announced, also created a list of five substitutes in case of possible injuries or unforeseen circumstances to cope with. Wei Zhen and Ma Zhen were both included in this 5-man substitute list. In the event of an injury or accident in the upcoming training sessions, there is still a chance for additional players to be recruited from the list. Wei Zhen and Ma Zhen have already arrived at the national team and reported for duty.
