Coach worried key player Syahir only 70 percent fit for Asian Games
National sepak takraw coach Ahmad Jais Baharun is concerned that main player Muhammad Syahir Mohd Rosdi has only reached 70 percent fitness ahead of the Aichi-Nagoya 2026 Asian Games. Syahir suffered a muscle tear in his right leg during the Sepak Takraw World Cup 2026 in Kuala Lumpur last May. The men's team is targeting two gold medals at the Games, competing in the regu and team regu events.
