Junior Eldstal will not feature in Ong Kim Swee’s squad against Yemen next week after the youngster failed to pass a late fitness test.
The Sabah-born defensive midfielder however confirmed that he was heading back to Kuching with his back injury still far from improving, as he tweeted that “this back injury isn’t getting better”.
Sources close to SarawakCrocs.com reveal that Junior was not 100% fit when called to play for Harimau Malaya, but obligated anyway due to his love for his country.
The news that Junior has returned to Kuching injured, would not go well with Sarawak fans whom have been loving the tireless midfielders presence in the heart of the Sarawak engine room.
Newly promoted Sarawak travel to Terengganu this weekend to continue their impressive run in the Malaysia Super League.
