Thai captain Theerathon said, “Thailand has two more matches this year in World Cup 2022 qualifiers. I am happy to serve Thailand and I will do my best to lead the team to beat Vietnam."
Chanathip, who has just come back after a long rehabilitation period, said: “I am proud to be back with Thailand NT. In the previous match, I was disappointed for being unable to celebrate the 2-1 triumph over UAE. In the upcoming matches, I will try more to help Thailand beat Vietnam and Malaysia,” the 26-year-old said.
Both Chanathip and Theerathon are playing in J-League1 for Consadole Saporro and Yokohama F. Marinos. They will train with the Thai national team for matches against Malaysia and Vietnam on November 14 and November 19.
