RI loses two key players for upcoming match with Thai

The Indonesian soccer team will have to do without two key players at the Southeast Asian (SEA) Games semifinal tonight.

Defenders Agung Prasetyo and Muhammad Abdul Lestaluhu have been sidelined because they received too many penalty cards in previous matches.

The team'€™s coach, Aji Santoso, has prepared two substitute players -- Vava Mario Zagallo and Hansamu Yama '€“ to replace them. He said he was optimistic that the new players would perform well in the game.

'€œWe will strengthen the defense line because Thailand is a very productive team with 16 goals so far,'€ Aji said as quoted by tribunnews.com on Saturday morning.

Aji said his team would play in a 4-2-3-1 formation, and that he expected the players to be focused and disciplined during the game. (ika)
