jpnn.com – The Indonesian National Team’s back line was a little porous when facing Saudi Arabia in the third round of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers.
The Saudi Arabia vs Indonesia duel will be held at the King Abdullah Sport City Stadium on September 5.
However, the Garuda Squad cannot rely on a number of its players in the upcoming match.
Two defenders are definitely absent, namely Jordi Amat and Justin Hubner.
Jordi is injured and his fitness is in doubt, while Hubner will have to serve a suspension for accumulation of yellow cards.
In practice, the Indonesian National Team’s only remaining central defenders are Jay Idzes, Rizky Ridho, and Muhammad Ferarri if we refer to the list of players when expecting Iraq.
This is quite risky considering that Shin Tae Yong often uses a three-defender formation.
Like it or not, the Korean coach must be smart in choosing players for the starting line up. This can be done by looking for a new center back or playing full back Garuda squad in the heart of defense.
