MANILA--The Philippine Football Federation released its roster of players to face Yemen in a World Cup Qualifier on Friday.
Juani Guirado, Javier Patino, and Simone Rota returned to the Azkals' 23-strong lineup for the Nov. 12 encounter, while captain Phil Younghusband made it in the list despite his suspension due to accumulated yellow cards.
Luke Woodland will be taking a break from international duty after recently signing with English Conference's Chester last week.
Patino and Guirado are both omitted from the team last month when they drew with North Korea and lost to Bahrain in two away qualifying matches, while Rota recovered from an rib injury he suffered in the UFL Cup semifinal last month.
It will be still a standard issue on the composition of the line-up, with fifteen of them coming from the United Football League.
League champions Ceres will be the most represented side in the line-up with six, followed by Global with five. Cup champions Kaya has two representatives, while Stallion and Loyola each have a player in the line-up.
