According to information from Indonesian media, goalkeeper Syahrul Trisna flew to Vietnam this morning, March 26, to attend the match against the home team. This information was confirmed by coach Shin Tae-yong's assistant - Mr. Nova Arianto.
In the March training session, the Indonesian team summoned 3 goalkeepers: Nadeo Argawinata, Muhammad Riyandi and Muhammad Adi Satryo. However, Nadeo was injured a few hours before the first leg. Mr. Shin Tae-yong uses Adi Satryo on Gelora Bung Karno field.
After the first leg, Muhammad Riyandi had a fever but he recovered in time to go with the whole team to Hanoi. Nadeo Argawinata was left out of the squad and goalkeeper Ernando Ari was urgently called up to replace him.
On the afternoon of March 25, during the open training session at My Dinh, all three goalkeepers Muhammad Riyandi, Ernando Ari and Muhammad Adi Satryo participated in practice.
However, according to Indonesian media, coach SHin Tae-yong is concerned about Ernando Ari's case because he has not fully recovered from his shoulder injury. Therefore, the Korean strategist decided to call Syahrul Trisna instead.
The Indonesian team's strength is being seriously affected by health problems. They only had 22 players participating in practice on the afternoon of March 25 while the registration list was 3 people.
The 4 absent players include Dimas Drajad, Pratama Arhan, Ivar Jenner and Rafael Struick. This group all had fever and was not present in Vietnam. However, Struick recovered in time to fly to Hanoi on the evening of March 25. The remaining 3 players are unlikely to be able to attend the match in time.
Among those absent, Pratama Arhan is the name that receives the most attention. He is an effective tactical option for coach Shin Tae-yong in throw-in situations. In the first leg, Suwon FC players contributed to Egy Maulana's goal.
Coach Shin Tae-yong relies heavily on the naturalized players. However, with Sandy Walsh suspended and Marc Klok injured, the Korean coach only had 6 naturalized players left in the match at My Dinh. Indonesia lost nearly half of the naturalized players according to the initial focus list.
The match between Vietnam and Indonesia will take place at 19:XNUMX p.m. today.
