Beiqing: Li Lei was absent due to muscle strain, and 4 naturalized players rushed to the national football team

According to the Beijing Youth Daily, the Chinese men's football delegation will take a flight departing from 1 p.m. on January 23 to Tokyo, Japan, to participate in the round of 12 away matches with Japan. Li Lei was absent due to muscle strains, and 4 naturalized players rushed to the national football team.

The Beijing Youth Daily reporter learned that among the 6 "overseas players" who have entered the alternative lineup of the national football team, in addition to the left-back Li Lei, who did not have the opportunity to participate due to injury, Wu Lei and 4 naturalized players Jiang Guangtai, Luo Guofu, Fernando and Alain will all go to Tokyo on the 23rd to meet with the big troops. This is undoubtedly good news for the national football team, which still has the opportunity to qualify for the top 12.

According to people familiar with the matter, Li Lei accidentally strained his leg muscles during training with the club recently, and recently went to the hospital for X-ray examination, and could not recover in a short period of time.

Lo Guofu and Fernando departed from São Paulo, Brazil, on the evening of January 21 local time, accompanied by Alain. This was also Fernando's first appearance with the team in the World Preliminary Round. Jiang Guangtai traveled from Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to Tokyo.

The national football team will leave Shanghai on a charter flight departing at 1:00 p.m. Beijing time on January 23, and is expected to fly to Tokyo Narita International Airport at 4:50 p.m. local time in Tokyo, and then move into a local Hilton hotel.
