On Monday it was reported by JDT that 10 of their players had contracted influenza virus alongside four from the Johor Darul Ta'zim II side, three from Johor Darul Ta'zim III as well as several coaches and staff.
This has led to the club calling in the respective health experts to perform medical checks on the players, coaches and staff as well as sanitising the training ground at Padang Seri Gelam in fear of increasing casualties.
With the match against PJ City supposedly to be played on Wednesday July 10, JDT have got the postponement request approved by the Malaysian Football League (MFL) in a statement released earlier today.
