The Metrostars have confirmed that club legend Lee Yuan Soon will be unavailable for 9 months beginning November 2010.
The Mumong Academy graduate will be in Singapore with Biro Mencegah Rasuah. Tabloids are reporting that Soon is under investigation for match fixing, charges which the player himself strongly denies.
In the meantime, Soon, who has scored 25 career goals for his homegrown club, will be available for selection.
The dust has only just settled on speculation that the left footed playmaker would be leaving the club after stong interest from Shaolin FC. Metrostars FC have released a statement saying the club are fully behind their player.

Lee Yuan Soon has moved to end months of speculation that the left sided midfielder would be leaving the club this summer. The rumour mill was buzzing at the end of last season with news that Soon was having his head turned by FC Shaolin but the player's latest statement comes after the Mumong Academy graduate puts pen to paper on a long term deal.
The tabloids have started early with the transfer rumours, linking the club to 20-year old German Wunderkind Thomas Muller and Tshabalala of Bafana Bafana who is a free agent this summer.
Rafa Benitez's agent has swiftly denied reports that the Spaniard will be taking over at the Mumong. "Why would Rafa leave just to go to another club without any money to spend?"
