Indonesia Faces China Without Several Key Players

Indonesia national team prepares to face China in Group C of World Cup 2026 Qualification Asia Zone at Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium, Jakarta.

The Garuda squad faces several setbacks — Ragnar Oratmangoen is out due to injury, while Maarten Paes and Marselino Ferdinan are suspended due to yellow card accumulation.

Coach Patrick Kluivert has also made the decision to remove five players from the squad:

• Asnawi Mangkualam
• Pratama Arhan
• Jordi Amat
• Reza Arya
• Shayne Pattynama

This reduction in squad size was implemented to comply with regulations limiting registered players — only 23 players are allowed in the official squad list.
