PETALING JAYA: Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) coach Bojan Hodak is ready to weather another storm with a depleted strikeforce in the AFC Champions League second qualifying playoff match against Bangkok Glass FC at the Leo Stadium in Pathum Thani, Thailand, on Tuesday night (8pm Malaysian time).

Argentine striker Luciano Figueroa is doubtful with a hamstring injury which he picked up in the 2-0 M-League’s Charity Shield win over Pahang on Jan 31. The other strikers - Mohd Safee Sali (groin injury) and Mohd Amri Yahya (foot injury) – have been left behind for the trip to Bangkok to recover from their injuries. The other players on the crock list are defender Mohd Aidil Zafuan Abdul Razak (knee) and winger Mohd Nazrin Nawi (fever).
