The star from Europe is absent, U23 Indonesia has only 18 players to kick the 31st SEA Games

According to the latest information, Ipswich Town Club has refused to release Elkan Baggott to U23 Indonesia to attend SEA Games 31. Although this team has ended the 2021/2022 season, the youth team of the English club is still playing in the youth tournament of English football and Baggott is in the plan to play the next matches. Therefore, this British team finally decided not to let Elkan Baggott return to focus and compete in the 31st SEA Games.

The absence of Elkan Baggott will greatly affect the ambition of U23 Indonesia in the remaining matches at this year’s SEA Games. Remember in the AFF Cup 2020, it was Baggott who scored the decisive goal to help Indonesia beat Malaysia 4-1, a key victory that helped Indonesia overcome Vietnam and win the first place in the group.

In addition to Baggott, Indonesia U23 is also absent Saddil Ramdani in the next matches because this player has returned to play for Sabah FC. Thus, Indonesia U23 only has 18 players left to play in the remaining 3 matches in the group stage of the 31st SEA Games because BTC’s regulations only allow teams to add and replace players if affected by the Covid-19 epidemic.

In addition to the above absences, U23 Indonesia is also worried about Asnawi Mangkualam’s health because the player has just arrived in Vietnam and is still suffering from a minor injury after the match in K-League 2 (Korea).

So in the worst case, U23 Indonesia will only have 17 players eligible to play in the match against U23 Timor Leste at 19:00 on May 10.
