The right-back of the U-19 Indonesian national team, Welber Jardim, was injured while defending the team in the third match of the 2024 AFF U-19 Cup group phase. Regarding the current condition ahead of the semifinals, the team's physiotherapist, Asep Aziz, revealed Welber's condition.

The U-19 Indonesian national team managed to qualify for the 2024 AFF U-19 Cup semifinals after winning 6-2 over Timor Leste U-19 in the last match of Group A on Tuesday, July 23, 2024, WIB night.

In that victory, Welber Jardim was injured and immediately received treatment. After the match, Welber continued to be under monitoring to be able to compete again in the next match.

"Welfer's condition is still under monitoring. Please pray for the best. In principle, we will prepare all the players to be ready to compete," Asep said as quoted by Antara on Friday, July 26, 2024.

In order to return to the prime world to look at the semifinals, Asep said it was not only Welfer who received attention, but also all players. Indra Sjafri's troops will undergo a physiotherapy session before competing.

"All players also undergo physiotherapy every time before the match. Just wait for the condition," said Asep again.

On another occasion, in the upload of the official Instagram account of the Indonesian national team, Welber gave a signal that he would play in the semifinals. The Sao Paulo U-17 player looks excited waiting for the next stage.

"Hello, friend Garuda, I'm fine. Come to the semifinals," Welber said in a post on the @timas.indonesia account.

It is known that in the U-19 Indonesian national team's victory over Timor Leste U-19, Welber had clashed with the opposing player, Vabio Cannavaro, in the 84th minute.

After receiving medical treatment, Welber Jardim was carried off the field.

The injury he sustained was quite serious because when the team passed the mixed zone area to the bus player, Welber was seen having to use a wheelchair with his left knee wrapped.

After winning in the final group stage match, the U-19 Indonesian national team will face Malaysia U-19 in the 2024 AFF U-19 Cup semifinals. The match will be held at the Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium (GBT), Surabaya, Saturday, July 27, 2024, at 19.30 WIB.
