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.
