On September 5, the national team will face Japan in an away match for the 18-strong tournament. According to reporter Yang Yi, national team defender Zhu Chenjie experienced leg pain after a collision during training; however, he is still expected to start.
It is understood that during yesterday’s training, Zhu Chenjie, who jogged alone instead of training with the full squad, did so mainly because his leg was hit during a previous training session, causing some pain. The coaching staff, taking precautions, allowed him to rest. Unless there are any unforeseen circumstances, Zhu Chenjie will still play as one of the starting central defenders against Japan tonight.
On September 4, China submitted a list of 23 players for this match. Given that all 27 national team players who arrived in Japan are in good health, head coach Ivanković ultimately made reductions in the relatively well-staffed midfield and defensive lines.
