During the preparation period for the Persib team to face Persita Tangerang towards Friday (7/1/2022), two players suffered injuries in practice. Erwin Ramdani has an ankle injury, another player Dedi Kusnandar has a hamstring injury.
Robert Aberts and the medical team will monitor the progress of the player’s injuries in the next two days. The coach will not force if his condition is not so fit on match day. There are other players who can be an alternative to Robert.
“Overall the players are in good shape, but Erwin has a sprained ankle and is still recovering. Dedi also had problems with his hamstring today, so we can’t force Dedi for now,” said Robert on Wednesday (5/1/2022).
Persib will also not include the names of Ezra Walian and Victor Igbonefo. The two players are currently undergoing quarantine in Jakarta after defending the Indonesian national team in the 2020 AFF Cup (2021) yesterday. The two decided to join forces on January 8th or 9th.
“Ezra and Victor also hopefully can join soon on the 8th or 9th. The players seem to be in good shape in training,” continued the Dutch coach.
If you look at the depth of the squad that was brought to Bali, Persib still has Abdul Aziz, Beckham Putra, Syafril Lestaluhu, Ferdiansyah, in addition to two names who will definitely get minutes to play Marc Klok and Mohammed Rashid. Likewise in the winger positions of Esteban Vizcarra, Puja Abdillah, or Febri Hariyadi and Frets Butuan who often play regularly.
