JAKARTA - Jordi Amat was confirmed to be absent when the Indonesian national team visited China's headquarters on Tuesday, October 15, 2024.

His ankle injury has not improved. As a result, Jordi Amat had to say goodbye to his teammates on Monday, October 14, 2024.

He left the Garuda squad first to focus on recovering from injury.

"With a heavy heart, I have to leave the team early because I will focus on recovering again."

"This means that I can't play for the team against China later," said the Johor player Darul Tazim.

The defender hopes that a faster injury recovery can make him return to availability on the agenda next month.

However, Jordi Amat emphasized that he would still support and pray for his colleagues. He prayed that players who won the trust in the match against China could take home three points.

"However, I will support and wish our team the best. I hope we can win."

"Hopefully I can join the team again next month," said Jordi Amat again.

Jordi's injury caused him to miss the match against Saudi Arabia and Australia in the first match of the second round of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers.

Jordi then started when Indonesia visited Bahrain on October 10, 2024.

However, he did not play full and was replaced by Rizky Ridho entering the second half.

Shin Tae-yong, coach of the Indonesian national team, revealed that Jordi suffered a minor injury against Bahrain and Sandy Walsh.

However, Jordi's condition during training ahead of the match against China did not improve.

Meanwhile, the Indonesian national team will play the fourth match of Group C of the Third Round of the 2026 World Cup Qualification against China.

The party will take place at the Qingdao Youth Football Stadium at 19.00 WIB.
