Gary Rowett reveals 12 Oxford United players absent after President’s Cup

Gary Rowett revealed a concerning situation at Oxford United — a total of 12 players are unavailable following their participation in the 2025 President’s Cup.

The English second-tier club was one of two foreign teams participating in the tournament — alongside Port FC from Thailand.

Oxford United completed three matches in Indonesia with mixed results:

  • Defeated Indonesia All Star 6-3
  • Won convincingly against Arema FC 4-0
  • Lost narrowly to Port FC 1-2

The competition experience in Indonesia was marked by rough incidents when Ole Romeny suffered a brutal tackle from Paulinho during the match against Arema FC — a violation that deserved a red card.

In the final match, Brian de Keersmaecker also fell victim to a tackle from Thanaboon Kesarat who received an immediate red card, though fortunately avoided serious injury.
