Blues centre-half Elkan Baggott, who is on loan with Gillingham for the season, has joined up with the Indonesia squad ahead of two friendlies with Curacao during the international break.

The 19-year-old defender has previously won 10 full caps, scoring two international goals.

The first of the two friendlies is in Bandung on Saturday and the second in Bogor next Tuesday.

Baggott joined the Gills on loan in July and has already made 12 starts for the North Kent side, who are currently third-bottom of League Two.

As a result of the international call he will miss Saturday's away game at Hartlepool.

Fat_Boy_Tim added 10:39 - Sep 20 Good luck to him. We wouldn't have a game this week if he wasn't on loan!

IpswichToon added 11:32 - Sep 20 I can't imagine we would postpone this game given the option as KM probably still has all the players he wants for this game available to him.

Marcus added 12:24 - Sep 20 Doesn't count towards postponing a game for us as he's out on loan. All those long haul flights are exhausting. - needs a lot of stamina just for that! Bandung is an interesting place, a bit cooler than Java as a whole due to being in the hills, although the stadium is in the warmer parts of the city. Every game is surrounded by a motorcycle parade that blocks major roads for about an hour and it's very noisy. They went past my old workplace!

Clemcc added 13:20 - Sep 20 Just a matter of interest when he goes out on international duty does he go first class, business class or coach? Is he allowed anybody to go with him on their expense etc ? Any idea of their budget?
