Apart from facing the humid, hot & dry weather in Oman where temperatures can go as high as 43 degrees, Singapore now faced another injury hit
After losing Razif Mahamad, Tan Kim Leng & Mustaqim Manzur to injuries before the squad left for Oman, Singapore National Coach Radojko Avramovic now finds himself with further problems after key defender S.Subramani was ruled out of the clash against Oman.
S.Subramani & Aide Iskandar had formed the backbone of Singapore since 1998 & both ave been ever present in Singapore international matches.
The Home United defender is suffering from a calf injury, therefore either Geylang United defender Mohd Noh Rahman or SAFFC defender Daniel Bennett is now expected to take over alongside captain Aide Iskandar in the heart of Singapore defence.
