Thailand coach Mano Polking announced on Tuesday his 25-man squad for two upcoming warm-up matches.
They include Japan-based players Chanathip Songkrasin of Kawasaki Frontale and Supachok Sarachat of Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo.
Midfielder Chanathip, dubbed ‘Messi Jay,’ chose not to play for Thailand who won the Asean Cup in January as the tournament was not sanctioned by Fifa.
The War Elephants will play two friendlies in the UAE, against Syria in Dubai on March 25 and against the hosts in Abu Dhabi on March 29.
The matches are part of Thailand’s preparations for the 2026 World Cup qualifying which starts later this year and the 2023 Asian Cup to be held in Qatar in January 2024.
