Indonesia has settled on a 23-player squad for the FIFA ASEAN Cup, with 14 players dropped from the wider group, CNN Indonesia reports. The final list was confirmed as the team continues its preparations for the tournament.
According to CNN Indonesia, head coach John Herdman made the cuts. The same outlet reports that the absence of Jay Idzes has raised questions about how much it will affect Indonesia's campaign, describing his unavailability as a possible setback for the side.
Kompas.com reports that Indonesia will go into the tournament without a local striker in the squad, a detail that shapes how the team's attack may be set up.
Two players could make their senior international debuts at the competition, according to ANTARA News Yogyakarta, though the report does not name them in the material available.
The squad announcement was among the most-read Indonesian football stories of the day, alongside Persib Bandung's latest recruitment targets and a message from Erick Thohir, VIVA.co.id reported.
Indonesia's group-stage fixtures, the final starting line-up and whether the two uncapped players get on the pitch are the next points to watch when the tournament begins.
