Sathia impressed with naturalised players but not foreigners

Sathianathan: ‘I have not seen anything convincing yet from the new signings, especially the foreigners.’ Right: Kuala Lumpur’s Paulo Josue is one of the impressive naturalised players.

PETALING JAYA: The form of naturalised players, especially playmakers Paulo Josue and Endrick dos Santos, could see them donning the Harimau Malaya jersey for the first time this month.

Former national coach and Super League observer B. Sathianathan said the form of Josue and Santos in the Super League has been good and could warrant a call-up for the friendlies against Turkmenistan (March 23) and Hong Kong (March 28) at the Sultan Ibrahim Stadium in Iskandar Puteri, Johor.
