JAKARTA - Persebaya Surabaya will play the East Java derby against Arema FC. Ahead of the match which will be held on Saturday, November 6, Aji Santoso ensures that his team will perform optimally and as a full team.

The coach said, Bajul Ijo will prepare himself to be able to bring the full three points after meeting Arema FC. One of the things that makes him confident is because he can make sure all his players can participate in the match later.

"So most likely the composition will be complete when it's against Arema FC. God willing, the complete composition is against Arema," said Aji Santoso according to information received by VOI.

Aji Santoso's belief about the squad that will become a full team cannot be separated from the confirmation he has also done. This is known because there are a number of foster children who enter the U-23 national team and have just finished the match in the 2022 Asian Cup Qualification.

"I have communicated with all the players in the U-23 (Indonesia) national team and they will return tomorrow," said Aji Santoso.

"God willing, they will come directly to Solo on November 3 (2021)," added the coach from Malang.

In addition to ensuring that four players in the U-23 national team, namely Ernando Ari Sutaryadi, Rizky Ridho, Rachmat Irianto and Marselino Ferdinan, would attend, Aji Santoso also tried to convince by saying that Bruno Moreira would participate.

Previously, it was known that Bruno Moreira could not play in three matches due to sanctions from the Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) Disciplinary Commission (Komdis). The Portuguese midfielder was absent in the match against Persela, Persija, and Persiraja.

However, in the match against Arema later, Aji Santoso is sure that he will create high tension in the field through the completeness of the team and slick games. It was deemed necessary to win the full three points from Arema who now sits in third place in the standings. While Persebaya, three points adrift in the 6th position.
