SEA Games squad to be without 9 players for VFF Cup

Malaysian Under-23 coach Ong Kim Swee will not have nine of his key players for the VFF Cup Under-23 tournament in Hanoi, Vietnam, from Oct 19-23. 

Mohd Zubir Azmi and Mohd Faizal Muhammad (Terengganu); Asraruddin Putra Omar (Selangor); and Ahmad Fakri Saarani (Negri Sembilan) are out because their teams are in the semi-finals of the Malaysia Cup competition. 

Fadli Shas, Wan Zack Haikal Wan Nor and Irfan Fazail are also out as they are on a three-month loan with Slovak club ViOn Zlate Moravce while Ahmad Hazwan Bakri and A. Thamil Arasu are still injured. 

“The tournament will give us a good chance to test our players’ temperament ahead of the Indonesia SEA Games next month,” said coach Kim Swee. 

The VFF Cup, which will be played on round-robin format, will also feature Vietnam, Myanmar and Uzbekistan.
