The national football team will face Thailand in the round of 36 of the World Preliminary Tournament on June 6, which is also a key battle for the team's qualifying situation, but it seems that Ivan's team will be in a dilemma of a shortage of strikers.
Beijing Guoan announced today that international center forward Zhang Yuning suffered an injury in the midweek league and has fully recovered for no less than 4-6 weeks. On the other side, international winger Lin Liangming will need no less than 2 weeks to fully recover. According to the time calculation, Zhang Yuning has a high probability of missing the battle between China and Thailand; And Lin Liangming was skeptical.
In addition, Wu Lei, the main striker of the national football team, will be suspended because of the accumulation of two yellows; The two main scorers of the national football team will miss the match against Thailand.
And don't forget Fernando; The main right winger of the national football team suffered an overtime muscle strain during the game with Shandong Taishan at the end of April and has not appeared for more than half a month.
This is undoubtedly a huge test for the new coach Ivan, who is currently inspecting many divisions of the Chinese Super League. The Croatian coach needs to "find guns" for the national football team next.
