REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- The Indonesian national team has held its first training session after arriving in Qingdao, China. Practice at Qingdao Tiantai Stadium on Saturday (12/10/2024) morning.

The exercise is preparation for Garuda's squad to face matchday four of Group C Third Round of 2026 Asian Zone World Cup Qualifier against China. The match will take place at Qingdao Youth Football Stadium on Tuesday 15 October 2024 at 19:00pm.

The players look enthusiastically preparing themselves in this exercise. They seemed to have forgotten the disappointment of being held to a draw in Bahrain by a controversial injury time goal.

Indonesian national team coach Shin Tae-yong divided the training session that morning into two groups. The first group was the players who took to the field to play against Bahrain. This group of players trains in the gym.

“While the players who did not play yesterday practiced normally on the field,” Shin Tae-yong said after leading the practice session, in an official PSSI statement.

Regarding the player's condition, the 53-year-old coach said there were no significant problems. Only Jordi Amat and Sandy Walsh have minor injuries and will return to recovery in the near future.

“Apart from Jordi Amat and Sandy Walsh having minor injuries, everything is fine. We just need to adapt to the time and the weather, because the weather is different from the previous one,” Shin said.
