Baggott in Indonesia Squad Ahead of Messi Meeting - Ipswich Town News

Blues central defender Elkan Baggott has been named in a 26-man Indonesia squad for a training camp in Surabaya from Monday 5th June.

The camp is preparation for friendlies against Palestine in Surabaya on Wednesday 14th June and World Cup holders Argentina, a game in which Baggott could face Lionel Messi, five days later in Jakarta.

The 20-year-old had spent the first half of the campaign in League Two with Gillingham, making 27 starts and two appearances from the bench, while scoring his first three senior goals.

Baggott has previously won 14 senior caps and has netted two international goals.
