JAKARTA - It is certain that Persib Bandung will not be a full team when they face Persik Kediri in the continuation of the Indonesian League 1, Friday, March 25. There are three players who will miss the match.
Henhen and Ardi Idrus could not be used in this match because they were banned from playing. To fill the second position, Persib Bandung coach, Robert Alberts, will field young players.
"We open up the opportunity to field young players to fill their places in the team," Robert said on the club's official website.
Even so, he had no choice. There are several players who have the opportunity to appear, such as Zalnando or Bayu Fiqri.
Apart from Henhen and Ardi Idrus, Beckham Adi Putra also cannot be played, but for different reasons. This one player was forced to miss because he was still struggling with injury.
Despite showing positive developments, the young Maung Bandung midfielder has not been declared fit to appear in the match against Persik.
"For Beckham, he is still not fully recovered and certainly not in the game," said Robert.
Meanwhile, the mainstay goalkeeper, Teja Paku Alam, is still being monitored. The former Sriwijaya FC player will undergo one more test before it is decided to play or be absent again.
The match against Persik is arguably very important for Persib, who still has the chance to win the Indonesian League 1. They must win if they don't want the opportunity to overtake Bali United to be lost.
Currently, Persib Bandung is in second place in the standings with 67 points. They are five points adrift of Bali United who occupy the top of the standings. With two games remaining, chances are still there.
