Thailand team received bad news

Before his debut match as head coach of the Thai national team, coach Anthony Hudson received bad news when veteran Teerasil Dangda was injured and forced to withdraw from the squad.

Striker Teerasil Dangda was injured before Thailand's match against Singapore.

The striker born in 1988 suffered an injury while playing for Bangkok United in Thai.League 1 last weekend. Dangda did not recover in time to join the "war elephants" in the FIFA Day series in November. In addition to Dangda, Anan Yodsangwan also missed the Thai team's meeting for the same reason.

In that situation, Coach Hudson called up two new names, Ikhlas Sanhan (PT Prachuap FC) and Pramez Aajwilai (Jubilo Iwata, Japan) to complete the squad for the upcoming matches. This is the first time Ikhlas has been called up to the national team, a worthy reward after his impressive performances in the 2026 U23 Asian Cup qualifiers in the U23 Thailand shirt.

According to the plan, the two new recruits Ikhlas and Pramez will join the Thai team on November 10. Meanwhile, Thai-born striker Jude Bell, who plays for Grimsby Town (England), will also take a flight to Bangkok in the afternoon of the same day to attend the first training session with the team.

Before Dangda and Yodsangwan, Coach Hudson also could not have the service of Suphan Thongsong. The British coach had to call up Shinnapat Lee-ao to fill the vacant position.

According to the schedule, the Thai team will have a friendly match with Singapore on November 13 before facing Sri Lanka in the 5th match of the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers on November 18. Both matches are considered an opportunity for the "War Elephants" to strengthen the trust of fans and test the new squad under coach Hudson.
