Indonesian U-17 national team coach Nova Arianto stated that his team is still open to adding new diaspora players after two friendly matches against China U-17.
Indonesia lost 0-7 in its first friendly against China at the Indomilk Arena, Tangerang Regency, Banten, Sunday.
The U-17 national team only has one diaspora player, Nicholas Indra Mjoesund, who plays for the Norwegian club, Rosenborg BK.
"We'll observe these two matches and see if we need to add more new players, look for more diaspora players, or hold international trials," Nova said at a post-match press conference on Sunday.
Regarding the diaspora players to be selected, Nova left it to the new coach, Kurniawan Dwi Yulianto.
