Blues centre-half Elkan Baggott has been named in a 29-man Indonesia squad for a training camp in Türkiye prior to the AFC Asian Cup.

The camp got under way yesterday with Indonesia-based players and runs until January 6th with overseas players joining up later.

They will play friendlies against Libya in Antalya on January 2nd and 5th, then Iran having travelled to Qatar, which is hosting the finals, on January 9th.

Six players will be dropped from the finals with Asian Cup squads 23-man strong. Indonesia will face Vietnam, Iraq and Japan in Group D.

Baggott, who is all but certain to make the final party, has previously won 19 full caps, scoring two international goals.

The 21-year-old could potentially miss six Town Championship games as a result, although so far this season the central defender has only been involved in cup games and might well be sent out on loan to gain first-team experience following the Asian Cup.

Linkboy13 added 15:08 - Dec 21 we've got Edmundson and Axel as cover. Baggott isn't even getting on the bench so McKenna must think he's not ready for the championship. Ndaba is playing regular football in the Scottish premier league for Kilmarnock so would be very useful to have around the squad.
