With Baihakki out of the national team, will the Lions be able to make an impact in the 2019 Asian Cup qualifiers?
Singapore tational team caretaker coach V. Sundramoorthy has announced that veteran defender Baihakki Khaizan will not be considered for selection during Singapore’s upcoming 2019 Asian Cup qualifying campaign.
The influential 33-year-old's exclusion from the squad could be a sign that Sundram has decided to build his defence around the partnership of Madhu Mohana and Daniel Bennett, a combination that worked well in the Philippines.
With the squad due to be announced imminently, this could pave the way for younger players like Abdil Qaiyyim, who had an impressive 2016 S.
