PETALING JAYA: Despite their imposing status as three-time defending champions, Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) are facing an injury crisis ahead of their FA Cup final clash against Sabah tonight.

Recently, goal machine Bergson Da Silva was reported to have suffered an injury, joining a growing list of players already sidelined for the same reason, including Arif Aiman Hanapi, Romel Morales, and Juan Muniz.
