John Herdman Awaits Medical Evaluation of Romeny
Head coach John Herdman indicated that Romeny is undergoing medical examinations after picking up potential fitness concerns following the fixture against Bangladesh on October 1, 2026. The player contributed four assists during that victory before sustaining the current physical issue.
Ole sedang menjalani pemeriksaan. Kami akan mengevaluasinya lagi besok. Tidak ada jaminan dia tersedia untuk pertandingan. Jadi sekali lagi, semuanya akan berada di tangan tim medis kami yang telah melakukan pekerjaan luar biasa untuk memulihkan para pemain ini. Jadi, kami harus menunggu dan melihat.

Herdman also addressed the situation with a lighthearted comment regarding the player’s recent output on the pitch. Saya rasa ketika seorang pemain memberikan empat assist dalam satu pertandingan, dia mendapatkan perlakuan khusus. Dia boleh berlatih sendiri dan itu memang sebuah pencapaian yang cukup unik,
Herdman joked, as reported by sport.detik.com.
