"The situation does not seem favourable to us because of the absence of these four players, especially Rosdin and Zuraindey. However, we still have enough players and we have to be willing to take the risk in a situation like this. I believe the players who will be entrusted with the task are ready and willing to give the best. "It is a difficult task, but in football, anything can happen. Of course we will love to win and grab all three points but we will be satisfied if we managed to bring back a point under such circumstances."Stay up-to-date by following Daily Express’s Telegram channel.
