some notable names not on the list... can they add players while there in dubai? Del Rosario, Burkey, Doctora, and Jonsson only 18 players on the list... Yes, I dont think this roster is complete with only 18 players, I expected them to go with at least 22 players . Stallion FC announced that Ruben Doctora Jr and Bervic Italia going to UAE. Jonsson maybe not going because of club commitments. Dont know why Burkey and del Rosario is not in the roster ?

Jonsson maybe not going because of club commitments. Dont know why Burkey and del Rosario is not in the roster ? I don't know why del Ro is not going as he is a very important cog in that defense but maybe because he is the team captain(Kaya) in the absence of Aly. I'm sure it would not be a good state of affairs for a team to lose 2 team captains in the middle of the season? Unless, they will be taking a long look at Barbaso and Carli at RB too?

Surprised that Delro wasn't included but we all know how Jerry Barbaso has been playing lately. I didn't expect Chieffy (bec of injury) and Ian to be included bec I rather take Doctora and have Ian play in HBC. Also, looks like Sabio is back which is not a surprise. He is so far the best CB in the UFL.

To confirm your info ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) RT Ritchie Gannaban @rgannaban @misterjpmanahan spoke to chieffy last night. he told me he'd be out for 4 weeks after laser surgery. Why is he on the list if he can't make it to Dubai hehe Azkals proceed to Dubai camp
Posted by Online on Feb 5th, 2012 // No Comment Manila, Philippines – With almost a month left before the start of the AFC Challenge Cup in Katmandu, Nepal, the Philippine Azkals hope to make up for lost time as they gear up for next week’s training camp in Dubai. Azkals team manager Dan Palami and coach Michael Weiss both admitted that they have very little time to prepare for the tournament yet gave an optimistic approach about the upcoming camp. “The target is to reach the semis. Our dream is to become champions of the Challenge Cup,“ Palami said during Thursday night’s formal launching of Turf BGC, the first artificial football pitch that was constructed in Bonifacio Global City in Taguig. “But realistically, with the preparation that we have, I don’t think we are in a position to dream too much but we will do what we can, especially in that camp and hopefully the cramming will give us even good results.“ “We have limited time to prepare but the players have been training with their clubs and I hope the camp in Dubai will help us get better,“ Weiss said during the same event. The Azkals are slated to face the U-23 teams of Uzbekistan and Australia aside from facing Al Ahli Sports Club. Palami and Weiss also said that Chieffy Caligdong will likely be ready for the Challenge Cup despite injuring his left knee during last week’s United Football League match between Philippine Air Force and Philippine Army. Caligdong, who plays for Air Force, underwent another test at presstime but Palami suggested that the charismatic winger will be out at least two weeks. “I’m very much optimistic,“ said Palami. “I talked to the doctor and said that it will take two weeks for him to heal from the time he got himself injured.“ (J. Terrado) www.tempo.com.ph/2012/azkals-proceed-to-dubai-camp/#.Ty3zlm-n90A
So Chieffy can play in Challenge Cup hehe

Our two enemies in Dubai play and UZB won against Qantas U-23. Our first game will be the toughest one ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) By the way an article about Caligdong ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) and Borromeo mentioned here. Caligdong joins Azkals in Dubai stintBY BONG PEDRALVEZ DIMINUTIVE midfielder Chieffy Caligdong will join the Philippine Azkals to their Middle East training camp, after all. Caligdong was given the go-signal to leave with his teammates for Dubai today by Dr. Randy Molo who conducted a fitness test on the 29-year-old booter at the Moro Lorenzo gym of the Ateneo de Manila University campus last Friday. "We had Chieffy undergo squat and hop drills, and he was not in much pain compared to when we last examined him," said Molo. "He’s cleared to join the Azkals to Dubai." He added a second magnetic resonance imaging scan of Caligdong’s battered left knee showed no signs of a torn anterior cruciate ligament as earlier feared. The Air Force winger suffered the injury during a UFL match against Army last Jan. 28 at the Rizal Memorial football pitch. "Since the MRI scan showed no signs of a tear, it is more like a strained lateral ligament that will enable Caligdong to recover more quickly," Molo said. Molo said the coaching staff decided to let Caligdong tag along with the team "so he can continue his rehabilitation with them since the entire conditioning staff will also be going to Dubai, and work himself back into shape. "If all goes well, he might be able to resume workouts with the Azkals during the middle of training camp." Molo said Aly Borromeo, the team’s skipper still undergoing rehabilitation from an ACL knee surgery, " should be ready to play by April." But he will miss the Azkals’ stint in the AFC Challenge Cup in Nepal in March.Striker Phil Younghusband also had a sore right hamstring, Molo said, but it was not serious enough to prevent him from joining the Filipino booters in Dubai. www.malaya.com.ph/02062012/sports5.html

Errrr The first MRI showed a partial tear of the ACL right? That should be two months out from the day of the injury. I remember when Fabregas had this (out 2 months), and I'm hoping the doctors are correct with the diagnosis and prognosis.

GOING OUT: Pinoy community ready for Azkals UAE arrivalFeb 05, 2012 The UAE’s Filipino community will be out in force as their Azkals national football team play two games in Dubai this month. Tickets go on sale today for the fixtures, which see the Filipino national team play Uzbekistan Under 23s on February 11, before they play the Australian Under 23 team on February 16 at Al Maktoum Stadium, Al Nasr Sports Club. Both matches kick off at 8pm. Preceding the two games, the Azkals will arrive in town on Tuesday for a training camp, and with the vast number of Filipino ex-pats in the country, these are sure to be well-attended events. It’s a busy Middle Eastern trip for the Azkals, as they fly to Doha in between, to face Qatar Star League First Division outfit Al Ahli. The Uzbekistan U23s will provide stern opposition, after they reached the final of the recent Matchworld Cup, held in Dubai last month. The Uzbeki players are stepping up preparations for the London 2012 Olympics, and will be looking to repeat their strong showing when they beat FC Rostov and Shahktar Donetsk after a penalty shootout. The Australians, meanwhile, are preparing for the upcoming AFC Asian Qualifiers for London 2012 and will be tough opposition for the pinoy players. It’s estimated that there are as many as half a million Filipino expats residing in the UAE, meaning tickets will be highly sought after. The team will be based at the Asiana Hotel and during their stay, a visit to a Filipino school is planned where kids will be able to meet their heroes in person, have a kick-about and get an autograph or two. Star players Phil and James Younghusband will be making the trip, the former having scored 18 goals in 28 games for the Philippines national team. Indeed their celebrity has helped raise the popularity of football in the Philippines, which has always come second to Basketball in the participation stakes. Head coach Michael Weiss is delighted to have brought his side to the Middle East for this series of matches. “The UAE is producing some very attractive football and it’s fast becoming attractive to the Europeans. That is why we have chosen Dubai. It’s important for a developing country like ours to get the experience of playing high quality opposition,” he said. Tickets are on sale today from Virgin Megastores nationwide. There are three price categories for the UAE games: Category B tickets are priced at Dh50, Category A at Dh75 and VIP are priced at Dh165 per person. Updates on the events will be available at www.azkalsuae.com, Facebook Page ‘Azkals Tour UAE – Philippines National Football Team’ and azkals_UAE on Twitter. What: The Philippines national football team, the Azkals, in Dubai, with matches against Uzbekistan and Australia Under 23 teams. When: The Azkals v Uzbekistan is on Febuary 11 at 8pm, while the Filipinos take on Australia on February 16, also at 8pm. Where: Both clashes will take place at Al Maktoum Stadium, Al Nasr’s Sports Club. www.sport360.com/article/going-out-pinoy-community-ready-azkals-uae-arrival
- UZB's U-23 is really strong. They beat FC Rostov and Shaktar Donetsk of Ukraine.

YES!!! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) How I wish available din si Etheridge for Challenge Cup but that depends on several factors ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . It's a sudden turn of events. Since Schwarzer returns to Fulham so Etheridge availibility is good. So Muller will be our GK in UZB and Al Ahli and Etheridge in AUS U-23 ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

So at least we know the released line-up wasn't final.
Great to know we have our top two keepers and arguably our second choice DM coming.
With that said, I still can't understand why Araneta and Gener are still on the list. Nothing personal against them but higher quality competition have left them exposed exposed and now that they're past their prime we should look for younger options to be given exposure (Beloya etc).
But my biggest concern is why Chieffy is still coming to the camp with his injury. I doubt he will be able to do anything there that he can't do here except for some friendly bonding with the squad. Babakasyon lang ba siya dun? Hopefully we could start looking at options like Christieans(who is not a goal scorer like Chief but a more natural winger). Although I think he wasn't released fort he camp though.
I'm praying the Phil and Dennis combo upfront clicks and will pose a serious threat come Nepal.
