On October 4, Ivan Kozlovski, the head coach of the national team, confirmed in an interview that Wu Lei, Alan, and Yang Zexiang will not be available for the match against Australia, while the coaching staff has called up Cheng Jin and Hu Huetao as replacements.
Ivan stated: Wu Lei has not yet recovered from his rib injury, so he has decided to stay in Shanghai for rehabilitation; Alan has a more severe leg strain and can only remain in Qingdao for recovery; Yang Zexiang suffered a serious thigh strain and will miss both national team matches this month. Gao Zhunyi and Lin Liangming are also dealing with injuries and cannot participate in today’s training session.
Due to a shortage of players, after discussion, the national team’s coaching staff decided to call up Cheng Jin, a midfielder from the Zhejiang team, and Hu Huetao, a left-back from Chengdu Rongcheng. This is also the first time Hu Huetao has been included in the national team roster.
