The latest news from Sports Weekly reporter Ma Dexing is that Zhang Linpeng was unable to arrive in Dalian due to the deterioration of his physical condition. Meanwhile, Wei Zhen will shoulder a heavy responsibility and leave for the national team tonight.
On October 6, the Chinese men's national football team ushered in a new round of training registration peak. The Chinese Football Association (CFA) urgently issued a notice that 26 players have arrived in Dalian one after another to complete the registration. Considering the actual situation, the national football team especially invited Wei Zhen, the center back of Shanghai Harbor, and Ma Zhen, the goalkeeper of Shanghai Shenhua, to join the team.
Shanghai Harbour's senior defender Zhang Linmiao was unable to make the appointment due to health issues, so the national team coaching staff called up Wei Zhen as a matter of urgency. Wuhan Three Town's goalkeeper Liu Dianzuo, despite playing for the team in the Asian Champions League recently, unfortunately suffered a recurrence of an old back injury. After the national team's examination, the medical team suggested that Liu needed sufficient rest. As a result, the coaching team decisively included Ma Zhen in the team's lineup.
When announcing the training roster, Jankovic not only announced 26 starters, but also reserved a five-man bench for possible injuries or accidents. Wei Zhen and Ma Zhen were listed. In the event of an unexpected situation such as a player injury during training, the players on the bench list will have the opportunity to be recruited in a timely manner to replenish the roster. Currently, Wei Zhen and Ma Zhen have successfully arrived at the national team and completed their reporting.
