Park Hang-seo shortlists players for Thailand match

Vietnam’s coach Park Hang-seo has finalized his 23-man roster for the World Cup 2022 qualifier against Thailand on Tuesday.

The South Korean coach dropped Huy Hung and Huu Tuan but kept Le Van Dai and Trong Hung on the squad.

The dismissal of Huy Hung surprised many, as it means there are now only three center midfielders on the national team. But attacking midfielder Quang Hai is one good alternative for this position.

Though  Huu Tuan has continued to impress Park, Van Dai was chosen over Tuan.

Attacking has been a headache for Park since Phan Van Duc picked up an injury. Trong Hung is expected to reenergize the team with his speed and finishing skill.

Thailand will train at My Dinh stadium on Monday evening.
