PETALING JAYA: Kuala Lumpur defender Giancarlo Gallifuoco (pic) and Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) striker Bergson da Silva will just have to wait a little bit longer to represent Harimau Malaya.

The two players were not included in the 28-man squad called up by national team head coach Peter Cklamovski for their 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers clash against Vietnam on March 31, despite being previously hinted to have been close to obtaining their citizenship.
