Thailand coach Masatada Ishii has called up Airfan Doloh as a replacement for Sasalak Haiprakhon, who has been forced to pull out of the national team with an injury.
The War Elephants are scheduled to play a warm-up game against Afghanistan on Friday before kicking off their campaign for a place in the AFC Asian Cup finals with a qualifying round match against Sri Lanka four days later.
Both matches will take place at Bangkok's Rajamangala Stadium.
Buriram United left wing-back Sasalak suffered a groin injury during a Thai League 1 match on Sunday night.
Ishii and his coaching staff have decided to replace him with BG Pathum United midfielder Airfan.
Airfan joined the national team training camp on Tuesday.
Both matches will be broadcast live on Thai Rath TV (32) and the BG Sports YouTube channel.
