Reijnders And Walsh Absen, Kluivers Ready To Maximize Sayuri Brothers

JAKARTA - Yakob and Yance Sayuri were seen joining the training center of the Indonesian national team. They will be the mainstay of coach Patrick Kluivert after Eliano Reijnders and Sandy Walsh are confirmed to be absent.

The role of the Sayuri brothers is expected to bring Garuda to its maximum performance against China and Japan.

"Everyone knows the Sayuri brothers are joining the group and several other players," Kluiver said in Sanur, Denpasar, Bali, citing ANTARA on Sunday, June 1.

The coaching team was forced to cross out Eliano from the cast list because he had to accompany his wife to give birth to her second child and Sandy had not yet recovered from injury while defending his club Yokohama F Marinos on May 21.

"Eliano has been replaced, he is looking forward to his second child, I am happy with that and Sandy Walsh is not 100 percent fit for the next two matches," he added.

Until the training camp on the Island of the Gods ended, 28 players joined the training camp at the Bali United Training Center, Gianyar Regency.

Meanwhile, two players, namely Maarten Paes and Kevin Diks, were only able to attend the second wave of training in Jakarta.

Thus, the total number of national team players is 30 players, out of 32 players who were previously summoned.

The two names of the players dropped were Sandy Walsh and Eliano Reijnders.

Kluivert said it would not add new players because the composition of the 30 players was enough.

"We already have enough players, so there are no more new players," he said.

In a crucial match against China, it was confirmed that two players could not compete, namely Maarten Paes and Marcelino Ferdinand.

Maarten Paes received an accumulation of yellow cards in the match against Saudi Arabia on September 6, 2024 and against Bahrain on March 25, 2025.

Meanwhile, Marcelino got a yellow card against Bahrain on October 10, 2024, and March 25, 2025.
