Indonesian national team head coach John Herdman revealed that Dony Tri Pamungkas and Yakob Sayuri will not be representing the Garuda team in the 2026 FIFA ASEAN Cup.
The two players were previously on Herdman's 23-man shortlist. Dony did not play for the national team due to his ongoing recovery from injury, while Yakob remains ill.
The two players were replaced by Shayne Pattynama and Rizky Eka Pratama. Shayne and Rizky were seen joining team training on Tuesday afternoon at Gelora Bung Karno Madya Stadium in Jakarta.
"Dony Tri has clearly returned to Persija after undergoing a fitness check. We feel the best option for him is to return to Persija to recover his game," Herdman said at Madya Stadium after leading the team's training session.
"Unfortunately, Yakob Sayuri is ill and is currently being treated in the hospital. We pray for his recovery. This has led us to call Rizky Eka Pratama into the team to replace him, and Shayne Pattynama to replace Dony Tri," he said.
