JAKARTA - Bad news emerged ahead of the match between the Indonesian national team and Vietnam in the 2021 AFF Cup Group B phase. Elkan Baggott was threatened with absence from defending the Garuda squad.
Social media was busy discussing Baggott, who was on the same plane with a positive patient for COVID-19 on his way to Singapore. Now, it is widely said that Baggott must undergo quarantine.
If true, it is likely that Baggott will miss the national team match against Vietnam on Wednesday.
Regarding this news, the assistant coach of the Nova Arianto national team is still reluctant to comment much. He only said that to this day Baggott is still on the team.
"Elkan Baggott is still with us," said Nova Arianto when confirmed by the VOI team, Tuesday, December 14.
"I can't talk yet (about Baggott) because everything can be asked (confirmed first) to the medical team and coach Shin Tae-yong," he continued.
Nova Arianto then said that he still did not know whether the news about Baggott was on a plane with a positive patient for COVID-19. He also doesn't know what steps the team will take because currently the issue is being handled by the Garuda medical team.
"We'd better wait for the update, hopefully we can play, just wait," said Nova.
Earlier during an online press conference on Tuesday afternoon, Shin Tae-yong hinted that there was a slight problem in the team ahead of the match against Vietnam. However, the coach was reluctant to provide more information.
"Tomorrow's match preparations are going well, but some unwanted things happened," said Shin Tae-yong.
