Phil Younghusband confirmed that he and his brother James are playing with the Philippine Azkals in the upcoming Long Teng Football Cup in Taipei on September 30 despite the lost of their mother two weeks ago.

In an interview by ABS-CBN’s entertainment website Push, Phil explained that their top priority at the moment is to look after their youngest sibling Keri, so it is important that they get back on the field.

“It’s a difficult time at the moment, but we just need to keep working. We have a youngest sister to think about so it’s important we get back to real life and start thinking about our youngest sister,” he said.
