When the news broke that Xie Pengfei was left out of the 23-man squad, it became evident that it was due to his lack of experience. Bao Yaxiong, Huang Zhengyu, and Cheng Jin are all relatively inexperienced players at the national team level. There were also rumors of a minor injury for Xie Pengfei, and given the absence of a attacking midfielder and winger position, there simply wasn't a place for him on the team.

This season, Xie Pengfei has featured in 28 matches for Shanghai Shenhua, starting 14 of them. He has contributed 4 goals and 7 assists to the team.

Tonight, the national team will face Japan away in the first round of the group stage. The absence of Xie Pengfei will surely be felt, but it remains to be seen whether the team can overcome this setback and secure a positive result.
