Two out, two in

THERE were mixed feelings for LionsXII coach V Sundramoorthy at yesterday’s training session.

The bad news?

Key defender Safuwan Baharudin (left) and creative midfielder Shahdan Sulaiman are ruled out of Tuesday’s big away clash in Selangor due to ankle injuries.

But the blow of the duo’s unavailability has been softened somewhat by the return of two other players who are expected to seamlessly take their places in the first XI.

Birthday boy Baihakki Khaizan, who turned 28 yesterday, went through the training session with no ill-effects, as did striker Agu Casmir.
