Persib face fatigue after Seoul trip before Persijap clash

Persib Bandung travel to Persijap Jepara on Sunday 20 September at 19:00 WIB, just days after a long-haul return from Seoul, South Korea. Coach Igor Tolic admits extra recovery time is needed before naming his starting XI.

What it means

• Long-haul trip back from Seoul leaves little recovery time before the Persijap match
• No official H-1 training at Gelora Bumi Kartini; Persib trained two days in Semarang instead
• Tolic delaying his starting-XI decision to allow extra player recovery

Model read

Persib's cross-continental travel and missed pitch familiarisation are a notable handicap, likely forcing rotation and reducing intensity against a fresh Persijap side.
