There Is A Change In The National Team Squad In The 2023 Asian Cup: Syahrul Injured, Coach Calls Nadeo

JAKARTA - The change occurred in the Indonesian national team squad ahead of appearing in the inaugural match of the 2023 Asian Cup. The condition of the injured goalkeeper, Syahrul Trisna, made his position later replaced by Nadeo Argawinata.

The head coach, Shin Tae-yong, took the decision after considering Syahrul's condition. Nadeo was also known to be leaving for Qatar on Sunday, January 14 evening WIB.

"Indonesian national team coach, Shin Tae-yong summoned Nadeo Argawinata in the final squad of the Indonesian national team at the 2023 Asian Cup," PSSI wrote on its official website on Sunday, January 14.

"This is because Syahrul Trisna was injured. Nadeo will leave for Qatar on Sunday (14/1) tonight," the statement continued.

The inclusion of Nadeo to replace Syahrul has changed the final squad of the two Indonesian national teams in the 2023 Asian Cup. Previously there was also a change with the entry of Adam Alis who replaced Saddil Ramdani.

Nadeo himself is not a new goalkeeper in the national team, this 26-year-old player has been called up by Shin Tae-yong several times to strengthen the team.

Apart from Nadeo who came in to replace Syahrul, the Indonesian national team still had two other goalkeepers in the squad. The two goalkeepers are Ernando Ari and Muhammad Riyandi.

The Garuda squad continues to prepare to give its best performance in the 2023 Asian Cup. Entering Group D with Japan, Iraq and Vietnam, Shin Tae-yong's team will play their first match on January 15 against Iraq.
