JOHOR BARU: Jalil Elias, the most expensive player in the M-League, is still with Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT), according to coach Hector Bidoglio.

The Argentina-born Syrian international last donned JDT colours when they defeated Negri Sembilan 3-1 on May 18.

Bidoglio said defensive midfielder Elias is still training with the Southern Tigers squad.

“He is a good player, but we also have a strong lineup of midfielders,” Bidoglio said
