Ilhan , who has two goals in nine international caps, had been on the sidelines since suffering that injury in Singapore’s 0-0 draw with Vietnam in an Asean Football Federation championship group stage match last December. “To play for the national team is always an honour and I can’t wait to come back and help the team in two very important matches. I like to think of what happened as god’s plan that there are even better times ahead after this tough period.”

He then earned a dream European move to Deinze, where he has a contract that runs till June 2024. “It has been one of the toughest periods. It is never easy to get such a serious injury especially when you are a young player but I have been blessed with the support of family and friends,” he said.
