Tactics main focus of Malaysia's training, as Sumareh ruled out of Jordan match

With only two days remaining before Malaysia's friendly match against Jordan on Friday, head coach Tan Cheng Hoe is concentrating on getting his players familiar with his tactics.

After the Jordan encounter, they will play away to Indonesia (September 5) and host UAE (September 10) in Group G of the World Cup/Asian Cup qualification.

"The first day [of centralised training last Sunday] was spent on recovery while the second and third days are on tactics. As a coach, there is a lot of tactical work to go through with the players, while making sure they stay motivated and focused on the coming matches.
