Meanwhile, Tan Yen Hao declined to be interviewed regarding his injury status as he was too distraught to talk about his latest injury in 2 years. However, from what PeePeeSee news gathered, his latest injury setback isn't the worst he had encountered. Before this, he had deep cuts on his fingers and right ear which required stitching. This time round, it was only a muscle pull. Hopefully he'll be back soon.
The same thing could not be said about Zhong Terry. He has a microtear on his ligament and the doctor has said that he will be out for 3 weeks or more. The news is a bitter blow for the man himself as he expected himself to be fit for the Bangkok trip in 3 weeks time. Looks like his night activities will be restricted within the 4 walls of his hotel room -not that he will complain =p. " I will gauge my injury myself before i deem myself fit to carry on playing. Hopefully I'll be running in a week and i'll be ready for the next game in 2 weeks' time," Zhong commented, trying to be optimistic about his chances.
On a more pressing issue, certain players have had a dip in form this past week. A major restructuring of the team might happen this Sunday as many first team players will be out(3 is ALOT). Every player called upon to play this Sunday is expected to fill in the shoes of those missing and play like Lions(England, not Singapore). "A team like ESFC have players who can fill in for those who can't play due to injuries, overseas posting or even a dip in form," suggested Muhammad Vidib when asked about problems that ESFC might face this weekend.
ESFC players will have to brace themselves for hot and fast-paced action on the pitch as all the teams will be vying to inflict ESFC's first defeat. "I believe that ESFC players as a whole have the spirit to achieve greater heights and we will conquer ESPZEN!" remarked Muhammad Vidib, hoping to inspire his teammates with these words before departing for Malaysia.
In the meantime, please remember to drink plenty of water prior to our games.
