Hudson Calls Up Weidersjo, Santiphap to Replace Injured Thailand Duo
Thailand coach Anthony Hudson has replaced injured duo Thitiphan Puangchan and James Beresford with William Weidersjo and Santiphap Channgom ahead of the King's Cup matches in Sisaket. The new call-ups join training on November 11 before the team faces Brunei on November 14.
Thailand men's national team head coach Anthony Hudson has called up William Weidersjo from Uthai Thani FC and Santiphap Channgom from Chonburi FC to replace Thitiphan Puangchan and James Beresford, who were found to be in less than ideal physical condition after the first two days of camp. Both players had previously reported for training, but Hudson's detailed fitness checks revealed they were not at full strength, which could affect team preparation and their parent club duties. Consequently, the national team brought in Weidersjo and Santiphap as replacements. The pair will join the squad for morning training on November 11 and travel to Sisaket province on November 12. Thailand will face Brunei on November 14, while Oman meets Tajikistan; the winners will contest the final and the losers will play for third place on November 17 at the Sisaket Central Stadium (Koh Klang Nai Stadium).
