PETALING JAYA: Inspirational midfielder Brendan Gan is ready to be Malaysia’s weapon in defence in their AFF Mitsubishi Cup Group B match against Laos at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil today.

With centreback Ahmad Khuzaimi Piee doubtful, the Harimau Malaya have only two options left in that position – Sharul Nazeem Zulphakar and Dominic Tan – and that could be a problem if coach Kim Pan-gon is planning to deploy a three-man defence.
