JAKARTA - The Medan PSMS team continues to carry out their routine training activities even though the Indonesian League 2 competition was postponed due to a humanitarian tragedy after the Arema FC match against Persebaya Surabaya at the Kanjuruhan Malang Stadium, October 1, 2022.

PSMS coach, I Putu Gede in Medan, Tuesday, said his team will continue to practice regularly to finalize all lines until the deadline for the two weeks of delaying the league. This includes keeping the players motivated to focus on facing the next match if the league resumes.

"We are still training and there are still a few more days from the initial announcement (state). However, if the delay is extended, we will try to arrange the agenda whether it is still training or being closed," said I Putu Gede, quoted by Antara, Tuesday.

Furthermore, Putu said that some of his foster children were still asking for permission not to join the training, including physical coach Rifqi Hadiyanto, who had not accompanied PSMS for training at the Flower Gardens Stadium today.

"There are several players who are still licensed, such as Dodi and Kevin who took the police test, Beni, who accompanied his wife who was pregnant and Reyki (young players) was still being tested," he said.

"Then Arif Suyono got sick, Adixi had permission to go home a few days ago to check that there was a problem on his shoulder and Rifqi had permission to go home because he was the guardian of his sister's marriage. God willing, Adixi and Coach Rifqi will join again tomorrow," he added.

Currently, PSMS Medan is still at the top of the West Group's Liga 2 standings with a score of 16 from five wins and one draw.
