Persib Bandung striker Barros to miss ACL Two play-off against Manila Digger

Persib Bandung striker Uilliam Barros Pereira will miss the AFC Champions League Two (ACL Two) play-off match against Manila Digger on August 31, 2026. The Brazilian forward is serving a suspension resulting from a red card received during a previous match against Ratchaburi FC.

Despite his absence from the pitch, Barros expressed optimism that Persib can secure a victory, noting the team's 2-1 win against the Philippine side last season. He intends to support his teammates from the stands at Si Jalak Harupat Stadium.

Midfielder Beckham Putra Nugraha confirmed that the squad has completed training preparations in Bali. The upcoming match will be played without spectators due to sanctions, but players have encouraged supporters to remain positive and follow regulations.
