Malaysia boss Ong Kim Swee explains why he has dropped Kelantan goalkeeper Khairul Fahmi Che Mat for Malaysia's friendly against the Philippines.
Malaysia head coach Datuk Ong Kim Swee has explained that the reason he dropped custodian Khairul Fahmi Che Mat from the national squad is to give other goalkeepers a chance.
He also stressed out that Fahmi had not been playing regularly with Kelantan, after having been dropped to the bench in the most recent two games for The Red Warriors, before the call-up list was announced.
The Kelantan goalkeeper had been a regular in the national team setup, but Kim Swee surprised many when he decided to drop Fahmi, for the first time in many years.
