The PSBS Biak Herald
Squad1 Feb 2027
95 days out for Nelson Alom after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. PSBS Biak will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.
Market1 Feb 2027
Andika Wisnu has said yes to Persijap
The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. PSBS Biak have lost him in all but the paperwork.
Boardroom1 Feb 2027
PSBS Biak close the window on a squad of their own making
1 in and 0 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.
Squad1 Feb 2027
A falling-out at PSBS Biak
Sani Rizki and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Transfer targets1 Feb 2027
PSBS Biak try to borrow Cyrus Margono
Persija have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.
Squad1 Feb 2027
A promotion for Iqbal Hadi
Not a new contract, not a new number: a new place in the manager’s thinking, which is the only promotion in football that actually matters. Iqbal Hadi has moved up it.
The dugout1 Feb 2027
Eduardo Barbosa has become a man the manager trusts
Nobody at PSBS Biak will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.
Looking ahead1 Feb 2027
Arif Budiyono faces his old club
Semen Padang next, and one man in the PSBS Biak dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.
Squad1 Feb 2027
A season on the outside for Mohcine Hassan
He trains hard, says the right things and goes home to an empty flat. Nobody at PSBS Biak has done anything wrong, which is exactly what makes it so difficult to fix.
