The men's national football team has confirmed that two of its foreign-based midfielders, John Patrick Hinrichsen and Jason de Jong, will join the training camp in Bahrain.
Via Twitter, team coordinator and media liaison Ace Bright said Hinrichsen and de Jong will arrive in Manila Saturday. They were on the national team for the ASEAN Football Federation Suzuki Cup in 2010.

Hinrichsen was with the team at the training camp in Germany while de Jong was considered for the national Under-23 team for the coming Southeast Asian Games.
Bright also said the team will resume its training sessions at the Alabang Country Club Saturday morning.

In my opinion both aren't able to compensate the loss of Borromeo and Schrock. I wished both Danish (Cagara and Lucena) would be available and our Iclandic Ray.....with those three the team would have good players within their ranks. I just read recently that it could be that Mulders wouldn't maybe be available in the 2nd leg vs Kuwait (due to Euro league qualifiers of his club).....hope that isn't true as it would be again a set back (in case we still have the chance to the advance to the next round - and not get hammered in Kuwait City)
