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

The duo were not included in the 28-man squad named by national team head coach Peter Cklamovski for the 2027 Asian Cup qualifier against Vietnam on March 31, despite earlier indications that they were close to  obtaining citizenship.
