On October 1st, nightfall, the Chinese men's soccer team's 24-man roster was unveiled like a bombshell, and on October 3rd, they will gather again in the bustling city of Shanghai. However, injuries are like ghosts. The absence of Alan and Wu Lei has forced the coaching staff to reconsider the lineup, and Wei Shihao's comeback after being released from suspension has become a new hope.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yuning was unexpectedly called up to the squad despite being suspended. Shanghai Shenhua's Zhu Chenjie, on the other hand, failed to make the list due to poor injury recovery. In contrast to the injury wave of the national football team, the opponents in October have their own actions: Australia ushered in a new coach Popovic, Indonesia naturalized Dutch players, the strength should not be underestimated.
Although Australia's star center back Hilkaty is seriously injured, Jordan Bose and Hrstic, two left backs and midfield organizers who have already represented European clubs in league matches, are expected to return to the national team. On the flip side, injuries to core players such as Wu Lei and Alan have cast a shadow over the next two preliminaries.
Senior soccer reporter Ma Dexing revealed that Alan's recovery is not optimistic. He suffered a serious injury in the match against Qingdao West Coast and basically confirmed that he will miss the national team tournament in October. Wu Lei also suffered an injury in the league match against Qingdao West Coast and is now confirmed to miss the October 1 AFC Elite League. Although the news of the national team matches is not yet clear, even if they recover, it is difficult for them to play as starters.
