TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Persib Bandung will face Madura United (MU) in the next fixture of Liga 1 on Sunday without their center back Vladimir Vujovic due to suspension. The player will be absent for picking up five yellow cards.
Persib Bandung saw Vladimir Vujovic cautioned in their previous match against PSM Makassar on Wednesday that ended 2-1. As such, the center back has been suspended for two games this season.

Vujovic previously missed a match against Bhayangkara FC early last month. He was yellow carded in clashes versus Sriwijaya FC, Persipura Jayapura, Bali United and Persiba Balikpapan.
His absence will certainly hit coach Djadjang Nurdjaman’s team hard because the Montenegrin is indispensable to them.
Other Persib Bandung players are also facing suspension for yellow cards. Achmad Jufriyanto has so far collected four yellow cards. It means that he will be suspended if he gets cautioned in the upcoming Madura United clash.
Other Persib Bandung players with disciplinary problems are Tantan, Hariono, Tony Sucipto, Atep and Raphael Maitimo who have picked up two yellow cards each. It certainly has become a major problem for coach Djadjang Nurdjaman in the Liga 1 championship this season.
