KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia will have to do without defenders Dion Cools and Facundo Garces for their upcoming friendly against Palestine but head coach Peter Cklamovski insists the team’s principles, not individual absences, will define their progress.

“Facundo is off to Spain today and Dion is going to Japan as well. Both are off early to their clubs,” Cklamovski confirmed after Thursday’s 2-1 win over Singapore at Bukit Jalil.
