JAKARTA - Following the news of the joining of Egy Maulana Vikri and Witan Sulaeman in the Indonesian national team's Training Center (TC), Sandy Walsh was the opposite.
In the TC agenda in Bali on Thursday, December 8, Walsh is known to have not joined his colleagues. He reportedly left TC to return to Belgium.
Walsh returned to Belgium because he had to defend his club KV Mechelen, this news was confirmed by the head coach, Shin Tae-yong.
"Not worried at all because of Sandy's problem of returning (to Belgium). He will also rejoin," said Shin Tae-yong, quoted from PSSI's release on Thursday, December 8.
Although Walsh was forced to temporarily miss out, the chairman of PSSI did not feel this situation was worrying for the national team. Because he explained that the naturalized player would rejoin.
"Sandy (Walsh) will meet in Kuala Lumpur on December 24. He will return there (Belgium) first," said PSSI General Chair Mochamad Iriawan.
With the certainty that Sandy Walsh can join again and the presence of Egy and Witan from Slovakia, this will further complement the Garuda Squad. So far, the national team is just waiting for Elkan Baggott.
The tall defender is still waiting for his club's approval, Gillingham, who recently allowed the player to leave if Garuda qualified for the 2022 AFF Cup semifinals.
