Indonesia National Team Announces June 2026 FIFA Matchday Squad Without Mas Jay Due to Injury

JAKARTA - The Indonesian National Team officially announced the list of 23 players who will be prepared to face the FIFA Matchday agenda in June 2026.

Garuda squad under John Herdman is scheduled to undergo two international matches against Oman on June 5 and Mozambique on June 9 at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (SUGBK), Jakarta.

Quoted by Antara, the announcement of the squad brought up a number of highlights, especially regarding the absence of the team captain from Semarang, Jay Idzes, who had to sit out due to a heel injury.

In addition, several names that previously often adorned the Indonesian National Team squad were also not included in the list this time.

One of the surprises on the list of players was the call-up of young defender Mathew Baker. The player who often appears at the age group level has the opportunity to strengthen the senior team and is said to be an alternative to Jay Idzes in the defense line.

On the other hand, a number of experienced players such as Jordi Amat, Eliano Reijnders, and the young defender of Tim Geypens are not included in the squad.

The decision is considered as part of the refreshment and adjustment of the composition carried out by the coaching team ahead of the two international matches.

These two FIFA Matchday matches are an important part of the Indonesian National Team's preparations to maintain the competitive rhythm while testing the best composition of the team for the next international agenda.

Based on the upload of the official Indonesian National Team account, the following is the squad list for the June International match:

Goalkeepers: Emil Audero, Maarten Paes, Nadeo Argawinata.

Defenders: Kevin Diks, Yakob Sayuri, Rizky Ridho, Sandy Walsh, Elkan Baggott, Muhammad Ferarri, Justin Hubner, Nathan Tjoe-A-On, Dony Tri Pamungkas, Mathew Baker.
