Faisal encouraged by extended healing time before start of Malaysia Cup

The 2020 Malaysia Super League season has not been one to remember for Pahang as they only managed to finished 7th after losing in their final fixture away to Terengganu FC (TFC) which sealed their place in the mid-table.

It was a massive fall for the Elephants who had only just finished runner-up one season before but the departures of first Matthew Davies and then Mohamadou Sumareh put paid to their hopes of challenging for a higher finish.

But the biggest barrier for Dollah Salleh and his side to overcome was the injury troubles that kept hitting them with key players like Dickson Nwakaeme, Ivan Carlos and Faisal Halim struggling to maintain their fitness fight.
