JAKARTA - The news that is not wearing anymore comes from the men's doubles line for the Indonesian badminton national team with the withdrawal of the Leo Rolly Carnando / Daniel Marthin pair from the Malaysia Open 2022 due to an injury suffered during training.

According to head coach of men's doubles head coach Herry Iman Pierngadi, Leo's waist injury emerged during training last Thursday.

"We have withdrawn Leo/Daniel from the Malaysia Open 2022 because Leo has an injury to his waist. This week he will focus on recovery and therapy while we monitor his readiness to perform at the Malaysia Masters and Singapore Open," said Herry as quoted by Antara, Sunday.

Meanwhile, Leo revealed that the pain appeared suddenly during a training session with the national team.

"He has been examined by a doctor and is now waiting for the results of the MRI. I hope that his injury is not serious and he can appear at the Malaysia Masters and Singapore Open," said Leo.

Previously, the men's doubles sector of the Red and White squad had also lost world number one pair Marcus Fernaldi Gideon/Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo and Pramudya Kusumawardana/Yeremia Erich Yoche Yacob Rambitan who was ranked 14th.

The pair nicknamed the Minions withdrew because Marcus was recovering after surgery, while Pramudya/Yeremia were absent due to Yeremia's left knee injury at the Indonesia Open two weeks ago.

As a result of this condition, it is certain that the two pairs will not play in the Southeast Asia tour, which consists of the Malaysia Open, Malaysia Masters and Singapore Open.

Even though there are only three pairs left, Herry is still optimistic that his students will still be able to give the best performance in this tournament with the BWF World Tour Super 750 level.

"Remain optimistic that Fajar / Rian, Ahsan / Hendra, and Bagas / Fikri will be able to give their best. Even though the preparations are also short, there is always hope," Herry assured.
