JAKARTA – Apriyani Rahayu is confirmed to be absent from the Swiss Open and Korea Open. He should take up to two weeks to undergo recovery after a calf injury.

The women's doubles specialist who partnered with Greysia Polii withdrew from the All England 2022 on Thursday, March 17, due to a recurrence of a problem in her calf.

This condition made the women's doubles coach, Eng Hian, decided to withdraw Apri's participation from the Swiss Open (March 22-27) and the Korean Open (April 5-10).

"The results of the doctor's examination and consultation with Apri's right calf injury were not too severe, but it does take at least one to two weeks of rest before he can return to the field," said Eng Hian in a statement.

Apri should have a duet with a new partner, namely Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti in the two tournaments.

Previously, Apri also canceled his debut with Fadia at the German Open last week because of the same problem.

"I don't want to take the risk, it's better if Apri rests until he recovers completely and then starts preparations for the next matches," said Eng Hian.

Apri's right calf injury recurred in the middle of the All England round of 16 match. Apri and Greysia were already leading 21-18 in the first game over the pair against Treesa Jollyindia/Gayatri Gopichand Pullela.

However, in the middle of the second game, the disaster came. Apri, who made an inappropriate movement when taking the shuttlecock, immediately felt uncomfortable with his calf.

After that, Apri continued to feel pain and his movements were increasingly limited. Then decided to withdraw at points 14-19.
