The goalkeeper for the Indonesian national team, Ernando ari, was doubtful because of an injury while defending his team, Persebaya Surabaya. However, now Ernando is certainly safe to enter the national team squad in the 2023 Asian Cup.
The certainty regarding Ernando Ari's condition was revealed by the Chairman of the National Team Agency (BTN), Sumardji. In his statement quoted on Sunday, December 17, Sumardji said the 21-year-old goalkeeper was in a better condition.
"Ernando Ari's condition is safe. He can join later (preparation for the national team for the 2023 Asian Cup)," said Sumardji.
This news is quite a relief because with his condition improving, Ernando's chances of being involved in the national team are also quite large. Especially before appearing in the 2023 Asian Cup in January, the Garuda Squad will first undergo a training camp (TC) starting December 20 in Turkey.
The statement about Ernando's condition is also in line with the statement revealed by Persebaya's doctor, Al Hayyan, who said that Ernando's condition was not worrying. It's just that Hayyan can't confirm how long Ernando needs recovery.
"Currently, Ernando still has a complaint about his ankle. We are still confirming what the problem is. We are still waiting for the results of the supporting examination," he said.
