Accordingly, the injuries of these two players came in the win against Maldives on the evening of December 17. In the 38th minute, Ikhsan Fandi did not move well, so he tripped himself.
Singapore media said, the 23 striker expressed frustration with the injury: “While trying to limp off the Jalan Besar pitch, he showed anger when he was treated behind the goal and smashed a bottle plastic onto billboards before being carried off the field.”
If Ikhsan Fandi cannot recover, Singapore will face many difficulties and challenges. Up to this point, the son of Singapore football legend Fandi Ahmad has 17 goals in 33 appearances for Singapore.
Not only Iskhan Fandi, according to the Lion Island media, midfielder Adam Swandi also joined the injury list. Both were taken to the hospital for monitoring and evaluation.
Iskhan Fandi is injured but is an opportunity for his younger brother Ilhan Fandi to show. It was the youngest fan of the Fandi family who scored a goal in a 3-1 win over Maldives.
Speaking after the match, coach Takayuki Nishigaya said: “Ikhsan and Ilhan are like telepathic. We are disappointed with the injury but we are proud that the team was a united team until the last minute. Incidents occurred but did not take our focus off.
“We continue to monitor the situation of are Ikhsan and Adam. However, Singapore also has good players. I am happy with their dedication and efforts.”
