Persib Bandung coach Bojan Hodak plans to give playing minutes to senior defender Victor Igbonefo who is playing his final season with the team nicknamed the Blue Prince.
Hodak said the opportunity was a form of appreciation for Igbonefo's contribution while strengthening Persib Bandung.
"This is Igbonefo's last season with the club. So I will definitely try to give him playing time. He deserves it. Not just because of this season, he has been here for a long time and has contributed a lot to this club," Hodak said in Bandung.
The opportunity to play will be given in the last two matches of Liga 1 this season, namely when facing Persita Tangerang and Persis Solo.
In addition to Igbonefo, Hodak also mentioned that a number of players who rarely appear regularly, including Achmad Jufriyanto will get playing minutes. The defender who has led Persib to three championships is considered to still have an important role in the squad.
"We will also give Jufriyanto a chance to play. He is an important part of Persib's history," Hodak said.
