Jay Idzes likely to debut for Indonesia in March
This central defender, who was naturalized as an Indonesian citizen on December 28 last year, has been confirmed to have recovered from his injury and returned to the main squad of Venezia Club, which is playing in Serie B (Italy's second division).
Jay Idzes has been out of action for Venezia since October last year due to injury. However, the 23-year-old defender of Indonesian descent is recovering well and was named in Venezia's squad for their Serie B win over Ternana on January 27.
In this match, the Dutch-born player has not been given a chance by coach Paulo Vanoli of the Venezia Club. But his return to the squad brings good news to Indonesian fans, especially at a time when the team of thousands of islands has just made history by entering the knockout round for the first time at the 2023 Asian Cup.
Jay Idzes just completed his Indonesian citizenship late last year.
Jay Idzes comes from the famous Dutch club PSV and has an ideal height (1.91 m). This central defender is also in the sights of coach Shin Tae-yong in his plan to strengthen the defense of the Indonesian national team.
According to CNN Indonesia , if the process of transferring the federation from the Netherlands to Indonesia is completed soon, Jay Idzes will have the opportunity to wear the shirt of coach Shin Tae-yong's team in the match against Vietnam in Group F of the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup taking place at home in Jakarta on March 21.
