For instance, if the goalkeeper is injured we need to confirm it with a doctor’s letter and only then will the change be approved,” he told Bernama today.
Both players exhibited no symptoms but were ordered to undergo a 10-day quarantine in accordance with Singapore Health Ministry protocols, along with Covid-19 tests administered daily.He said if there was positive feedback from organisers, FAM would leave it to national head coach Tan Cheng Hoe to determine a suitable replacement.
