Thailand centre-back Jonathan Khemdee suffered a serious injury during a contact-training session on September 22. After landing and colliding knee-first with a teammate, he was taken for an MRI. The scan reportedly showed a torn anterior cruciate ligament, partial medial collateral ligament damage and a meniscus tear.
VnExpress said he is expected to miss eight to 10 months, ruling him out of the 2026 FIFA ASEAN Cup, the 2027 Asian Cup finals and the remainder of Ratchaburi’s season. Coach Anthony Hudson called up Port FC defender Peerawat Akkratum. The layoff is a report estimate, not a confirmed recovery timetable.
