Indonesia ban for Essien, Cole over permit fiasco
Print Edition
INDONESIAN authorities yesterday banned Michael Essien and Carlton Cole from playing until they get work permits after their new club did not obtain the necessary documents for the ex-English Premier League players.
The two were signed with great fanfare last month by Persib Bandung, one of the country’s best clubs, in a boost for Indonesian football as it seeks to bounce back from a FIFA suspension. But the government-backed Professional Sports Agency found the players did not have the required work permits. The club admitted it had not finished processing the paperwork for the pair before they made their debuts in the country’s new top-flight Liga 1 at the weekend. After calling in the players and Persib’s management for questioning, immigration authorities said yesterday the pair would not be able to play until they obtained the permits. Persib said it would abide by the ban while working to get the permits. Essien, of Ghana, has played for Chelsea, AC Milan and Real Madrid. England’s Cole has played for Chelsea and West Ham United.
