PETALING JAYA (15 March 2021) – Malaysian head coach Tan Cheng Hoe has called up a total of 28 players for the centralised training camp planned for 22-30 March 2021 in Johor.
The camp is in preparation for Malaysia’s last three matches of Group G of Round 2 of the 2022 World Cup/2023 Asian Cup qualifiers which will be held centrally in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Malaysia will take on hosts UAE on 3 June, Vietnam on 11 June and Thailand on 15 June 2021.
While the majority of the players came from the squad that had played at the last two qualifying matches, Cheng Hoe has also recalled some old faces and several newcomers for the camp this time around.
“I did not call Liridon Krasniqi (Newcastle Jets) or Junior Eldstal (Chonburi FC) because of the quarantine issue,” said Cheng Hoe.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted our plans for more than a year, so we need to take every advantage in this relatively short preparation time.
“This is the best time for us to focus on the team’s preparation because when we gather again in May, we will not have much time.”
