Hariss Harun and Shahril Ishak make it to Asian Games

After weeks of uncertainty, news has finally emerged both Hariss Harun and Shahril Ishak will make it to Asian Games.

At first, both players were not expected to make it as Hariss Harun had studies commitment while FAS could not forced Shahril Ishak Indonesian club, Persib Bandung, release him as the Asian Games is not on FIFA list of international competition.

However, matter have changed now with Hariss Harun allowed to play in the first two group stage matches as his school have make allowance for the Young Lions midfielder to catch up on his studies later while Persib Bandung has agreed to release the ex-Home United player as they have no commitment during the Asian Games period which Singapore have matches.

Still, it was not all good news as FAS could not get all the players they wanted as the other two overage players - Khariul Amri and Mustafic Fahrudin - were not released by their Indonesian clubs.

It further showcased how bad the management under Zainudin have been as they should have expected it as Indonesia did not send a team to the Asian Games and the Indonesian Super Liga have commitment during that period.
