The last time Aidil Zafuan put on the Malaysia jersey was at My Dinh Stadium in the 2018 AFF Championship final second leg against Vietnam and 10 months after that match, he is in-line to play against the same team at the same stadium for his next international match.
After going with comparatively more youthful options in the call-up between those 10 months, Malaysia's head coach Tan Cheng Hoe is seemingly turning back to the vastly experienced Aidil for a defence that were not able to keep a single clean sheet in the three matches played in September.
