Thais hit by key absences for Asian CupListen to this articleMembers of the Thai youth team celebrate a goal during the SEA Games. Thailand will be heading to the AFC U23 Asian Cup in Saudi Arabia without the man who carried much of their scoring burden at the recently concluded SEA Games in Bangkok. The AFC U23 Asian Cup finals in Saudi Arabia will run from Jan 6-24. On paper, it is a tough assignment and without their SEA Games heroes and with several key players unavailable, Thailand's campaign looks less like a charge for glory. These players will report for training camp on Monday and will leave for Saudi Arabia on Jan 4.
