Nafuzi praying for Syamim's availability for second leg

Nafuzi Zain is sweating on the fitness of Syamim Yahya following the latter's knee injury that makes him 50-50 for the vital return leg at Tan Sri Dato Haji Hassan Yunos Stadium on Saturday. Syamim's fitness is not up to par yet for Nafuzi to rely on the experienced player, what with the player last featuring against PKNS FC in a Group A match early last month.

With a place in the Malaysia Cup semi-final at stake, Nafuzi is understandably reluctant to take unnecessary risk with a player who isn't fully fit; but if improvements are shown in the coming days, Syamim may yet have a role to play against Johor Darul Ta'zim.
