Veteran striker Au Wai-lun has been called up for Hong Kong's crucial World Cup soccer qualifier against Kuwait next Wednesday.
Buler Rangers' up-and-coming attacking midfielder Chan Yiu-lun has also been included for the match at Siu Sai Wan Sports Ground.
Led by coaches Lai Sun-cheong and Tsang Wai-chung, the 18-strong squad left yesterday for a five-day training camp in Guangzhou .
Last season was a nightmare for the 33-year-old South China player, who was hit by a series of injuries and scored only four goals.
Au has apparently had a change of heart after earlier telling the media that he would not play for the national team. But he was persuaded by his mentor Lai to return to the fold.
Chan, 22, could be Hong Kong's 'secret weapon'. He was sixth on the scoring charts last season with 11 goals - the highest tally by a local player.
