Kantongi Izin Hanya Sampai Penyisihan, Nathan Tjoe-A-On Tinggalkan Timnas Indonesia U23

SEAToday.com, Jakarta - Persatuan Sepak Bola Seluruh Indonesia (PSSI) mengonfirmasi kepergian Nathan Tjoe-A-On dari Tim Nasional (Timnas) Indonesia U23 di ajang Piala Asia U23 AFC 2024.
Pemain muda berbakat ini telah kembali ke Belanda setelah mengantarkan Timnas Indonesia U23 lolos ke perempatfinal, usai mengalahkan Yordania dengan skor 4-1 di pertandingan terakhir fase Grup A, Minggu (22/4).
Anggota Komite Eksekutif (Exco) PSSI Arya Sinulingga menjelaskan, SC Heerenveen, klub Nathan, hanya memberikan izin bermain selama sepekan, mengingat turnamen Piala Asia U-23 tidak termasuk dalam agenda resmi FIFA.
"Awalnya, mereka (Heerenven) berat betul melepas Nathan. Tapi, Pak Ketua (Erick Thohir) usaha betul supaya Nathan bisa bermain, minta sampai lolos grup, lah," ungkap Arya.
Kepergian Nathan tentunya menjadi kehilangan besar bagi tim Garuda Muda. Ia akan absen di babak perempatfinal, meskipun PSSI masih terus berusaha untuk melakukan negosiasi dengan pihak klub.
