"We want to convey that Daniel and Ester's current condition have recovered from the injuries they suffered," said Dr. Retno, Sp.KO., who is a doctor at the PBSI National Training Center in the statement.
Daniel previously underwent arthroscopy debridement surgery after suffering a left knee injury at the 2025 Sudirman Cup.
Ester suffered a fracture at the base of the right shin bone (shin bone fracture) while training at the PBSI Pelatnas in September 2025.
Retno said that at this time the two were going through all stages of recovery by following the instructions of the medical team in a disciplined manner. PBSI will not rush to send them to the tournament before they are really ready to return.
"The process not only includes healing injuries, but also gradual strengthening to ensure that their physical foundations are really back to normal. PBSI together with the medical team is not taking any hasty steps," he said.

"Currently, both of them are in the phase of reintegration to the field. The next stage is a thorough evaluation from the coaching team to see whether the progress of Daniel and Ester's game is in line with the indicators targeted."
"The decision on when they can return to compete in official matches will be entirely determined by the coach's objective assessment, in order to ensure that both are fully prepared physically, technically, and mentally," he said.
