Coach admits little Mickey’s absence leaves big void on left flank


PETALING JAYA: Selangor coach Tan Cheng Hoe admits it will be hard to find a stand-in for their suspended winger Faisal Halim after the Red Giants’ 4-1 win over Police in their Malaysia Cup round-of-16, first-leg match on Thursday.

The diminutive but talismanic Faisal, nicknamed Mickey, was suspended for a month by the Football Association of Malaysia for comments he made after a Super League match against Sabah on April 27.
