Even though they have returned to training, the squad's condition is not yet complete. The reason is, there are still players who are absent because they defend the Indonesian U-23 National Team at the 2025 SEA Games. They are Rayhan Hannan and Dony Tri Pamungkas.

However, both of them still have the opportunity to appear in the 15th week against Semen Padang. The match will only be held on December 22, 2025, which is estimated that the Garuda Muda Squad has returned to the country.

Meanwhile, Hanif Sjahbandi and Gustavo Almeida have also not joined their teammates because they are still in the process of recovering from injuries.

Both players are still undergoing a special recovery program with the club's medical team to ensure their condition is fully recovered. However, it is known that both of them have shown positive developments.

After the break, the match against Semen Padang FC became a moment for Persija to cut points with Borneo FC who are at the top of the standings. Not only that, the schedule in front of the eyes will also be used to continue the record of victory in the previous six matches that have not been tarnished.
