KUALA LUMPUR: Johor Darul Ta'zim coach Xisco Munoz will not rush returning players into action despite their availability for tomorrow's Asian Champions League Elite (ACLE) clash against Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors. Joao Figueiredo, Jon Irazabal, and Hector Hevel are available after serving 12-month FIFA suspensions, giving Munoz options for the East Zone league-stage match at Jeonju World Cup Stadium.

The Spaniard said their reintegration must be handled cautiously after a year out of competitive football. "Their return is a positive development, but we need to manage them properly because they have not played for a long time," said Munoz.

"It gives us more options for upcoming matches, but we must be careful about how we bring them back. What matters is ensuring the process goes smoothly and rebuilding their confidence in the right way."
