Suara.com – Thom Haye and his team are expected to join the Indonesian National Team for the match against Vietnam, leaving 5 players as potential casualties.
The upcoming match against Vietnam in the World Cup 2026 Qualifiers will mark the debut of four additional players of Indonesian descent in the squad.
These four additional players include Thom Haye, Jay Idzes, Ragnar Oratmangoen, and Nathan Tjoe-A-On.
Another player who is in the process of naturalization is Maarten Paes, who previously played for the Netherlands U-20 National Team and needs time to complete the federation switch.
Some key players under the guidance of Shin Tae-yong have been excluded from the squad.
At least five players have been removed from the Indonesian National Team squad for the World Cup 2026 Qualifiers match against Vietnam:
1. Ernando Ari: Excluded due to injury, not due to competition. The goalkeeper position is now more open for competition.
2. Wahyu Prasetyo: Needs to stay consistent with the influx of players of Indonesian descent in the defense position.
3. Pratama Arhan: His position is not always secure despite being a key player for Shin Tae-yong.
4. Adam Alis: Excluded due to the quality of Thom Haye who plays in the Dutch League.
5. Dendy Sulistyawan: Excluded due to the arrival of Ragnar Oratmangoen who is predicted to be a starter.
