Jay Idzes faces suspension threat in Venezia’s relegation battle

Indonesian national team captain Jay Idzes is on the brink of missing action for Venezia — a team currently fighting to avoid relegation in Serie A this season.

The robust 24-year-old defender has been a crucial pillar in Venezia’s defense since their promotion to Serie A. Out of his team’s 28 matches played, Idzes started in 26 games — only missing the opener against Lazio and the tenth-week clash against Udinese.

Idzes’s absence in the season opener was due to yellow card accumulation from the promotion playoffs. Nevertheless, his performance with Venezia has been impressive, recording four clean sheets throughout the season.

As Venezia continues its struggle to maintain its Serie A status—the team’s hopes rest heavily on Idzes’s availability.

With his leadership and solid defensive skills—his presence in the remaining matches will be crucial for the team’s survival.
