Jakarta, tvOnenews.com – Indonesian football observer Justinus Lhaksana or familiarly known as coach Justin assesses that the Indonesian U-23 National Team’s chances of qualifying for the 2024 Paris Olympics will be even more difficult if Justin Hubner is absent from the inter-confederation playoff match against Guinea U-23 on May 9 coming up in Paris.
Hubner was reportedly unable to defend Garuda Muda because he returned to his club Cerezo Osaka.
However, this is not official yet because when confirmed by Antara on Friday, assistant coach for the U-23 national team, Nova Arianto, said that his party was still negotiating with the Hubner club.
“We are currently communicating with the club,” said Nova, quoting Antara on Saturday (4/5/2024).
If it is true that Hubner will be absent from defending Indonesia against Guinea, coach Justin believes that Garuda Muda’s chances of securing one last ticket to the Olympics will be even more difficult.
Moreover, Indonesia will still not be able to play team captain Rizky Ridho in the next match, who received a red card against Uzbekistan in the semifinals.
“So it gets heavier. “He was the best player in the last few matches, except against Uzbekistan,” said coach Justin, quoting Antara.
