PETALING JAYA: Interim national coach Datuk Ong Kim Swee can’t decide whether striker Norshahrul Idlan Talaha should be in the starting XI for the friendly against the Philippines national team at the Selayang Stadium on Saturday night.
The Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) forward had on Feb 19 withdrawn from the national camp at Wisma FAM in Kelana Jaya to go to Mecca to perform the umrah. Norshahrul, however, has since postponed his umrah and rejoined the national team on Thursday. The striker was slapped with a RM5,000 fine for his tardiness.
