JAKARTA - The Indonesian national team will play a test match against Libya on Tuesday, January 2, 2024, at the Mardan Sports Complex, Turkey.

Shin Tae-yong certainly could not field Sjayne Pattynama. You see, the 25-year-old player had to return to the Netherlands because his mother was sick.

At the training session Monday, January 1, 2024, Shayne was no longer with the team. Shin Tae-yong has given Shayne permission to go home.

"Honestly, there is a problem in the health of Shayne's mother, so finally she was returned to the Netherlands," said Shin Tae-yong.

Shin Tae-yong said that he had thought carefully about his decision. For him, the most important thing is that Shayne can meet and confirm his mother's condition first in person.

"I allow Shayne to return to the Netherlands first so that her psychology is more stable," said Shin Tae-yong.

So far, Shayne has given the news when he arrived in the Netherlands. Shin Tae-yong has also received the latest information regarding the condition of his wing-back's mother.

The South Korean coach confirmed that Shayne would rejoin the team as soon as possible.

"Shayne has reported that her mother is okay, so she will return as soon as possible," said the 53-year-old coach.

The Indonesian national team is scheduled to meet Libya twice on the trial agenda. The second match was held on January 5, 2024, in the same place.

After that, the Garuda Squad departed for Qatar to prepare for the final for the 2023 Asian Cup which was held on January 12-10 February 2024.

Before playing the first match of the 2023 Asian Cup against Iraq on January 15, 2024, the Indonesian national team will undergo their last test against Iran on January 9, 2024 in Qatar.
