“Their names have been floated on social media but that does not mean we will take them in as naturalised players or nominate them to the committee because they still have to undergo several processes required by FAM, for due diligence before they can join the national team,” Stuart told Bernama recently.

Meanwhile, Stuart said Harimau Malaya are expected to play their three matches in the second qualifying round of the World Cup 2022/Asia Cup 2023 in October and November, after they were postponed by the Asian Football Confederation following the Covid-19 pandemic.
