SINGAPORE - His presence has been sorely missed since he enlisted with the Singapore Police Force on Aug 10. His time in National Service has corresponded with two defeats for Singapore in the 2014 World Cup qualifiers.
But in a timely boost to Singapore's flailing Group A campaign, midfield star Hariss Harun has returned to training with Radojko Avramovic's squad.
He was at Jalan Besar Stadium for Monday's training session, which kicked off at 5.30pm, as the team prepared for their final warm-up fixture against the Philippines on Oct 7, before the must-win Group A tie against Jordan here four days later.
Singapore will miss midfielder Mustafic Fahrudin, who is suspended for the fixture, with 31-year-old veteran Noh Rahman recalled to the squad for the first time since December's poor showing at the AFF Suzuki Cup.
With two S-League fixtures on Monday night, only 19 players were present at training, including goalkeeper Hassan Sunny.
He has been in rehabilitation following a torn anterior cruciate ligament, but was fit enough to join the team on the pitch. Injured striker Qiu Li looks unlikely to feature against the Philippines, though.
The Home United star had sneakers on instead of boots, and was just walking across the length of the pitch.
