Midfield maestro Chanathip Songkrasin has been included in the 23-man strong Thailand squad for the upcoming clash against South Korea in Group F, Round 2 qualifiers of the FIFA World Cup 2026.
The 30-year-old midfielder had to sit out the recent AFC Asian Cup 2023 in Qatar due to injuries.
But with two important matches against South Korea within a week coming up, the return of the Thai captain will no doubt inspire the squad under head coach Masatada Ishii.
Thailand will take on South Korea away first on 21 March 2024 at the Seoul World Cup Stadium before the return tie five days later at the Rajamangala Stadium.
