Back To Lechia Gdansk's Lap, Witan Sulaeman Hopes To Get A Chance To Play

JAKARTA - Indonesian national team midfielder Witan Sulaeman has rejoined his home club, Lechia Gdansk. The loan period for Indonesian national team players at FK Senica has ended.

Witan has joined the Lechia Gdansk training center in Cetniewo on Sunday, 19 June. Not alone, he arrived with his colleague, Kristers Tobers who had just defended the Latvian national team.

"(Before) I was in Slovakia (with FK Senica), now I'm back after the loan period ends," Witan said on the club's YouTube account.

At the moment of his return to Lechia Gdansk, Witan expressed great hopes. In addition to admitting that he is happy, he also hopes that he will be given the opportunity to play.

"Now I have returned. I'm ready to play. In the first few days we will undergo an introduction to team training," he said.

"I hope to get the opportunity to play with Lechia," continued the midfielder.

Before finally being able to return to Lechia Gdansk's uniform, Witan was at FK Senica for five months to undergo a loan period. At the same time, he also defended the Indonesian national team to appear at the 2021 SEA Games and the 2023 Asian Cup Qualifiers.

Witan's great hope of getting the opportunity to play seems to be inversely proportional to his future. Because, although he still has one year left on his contract with Lechia, Witan's position with the club nicknamed Bialo-Zielony remains in question.

Lechia coach Tomasz Kaczmarek said his side would soon decide Witan's position. Thus, Witan's future is still open with all possibilities, including going back on loan, playing in the back-up team or maybe entering the first team.
