Ragnar Oratmangoen gives up break to join Indonesia training camp
The Persib Bandung player says limited playing time following injury and squad rotation have left him fresh for national-team duty in Bali.
Ragnar Oratmangoen has opted to forgo his international-break holiday to train with Indonesia in Bali, saying he is ready to take part in the full programme prepared by the coaching staff.
The national team's camp began on 10 November at Bali United's training facilities. Oratmangoen is the only player attending from Persib Bandung, whose crowded fixture schedule includes both domestic and Asian competitions.
Speaking to ILeague's official website, Oratmangoen said he did not feel tired despite Persib's run of matches. He explained that an injury had restricted his appearances, while the club's rotation of players had also helped him maintain his energy.
The naturalised player said missing time off was not a problem for him and that he was happy to reunite and train with his Indonesia teammates. He was keen to return to national-team duty as he sought to earn the full confidence of coach John Herdman.
