JAKARTA - Men's doubles player Yeremia Rambitan is predicted to be sidelined for three to six months. It was a result of the knee injury he was currently suffering from.

Yeremia suffered a knee injury in the quarter-finals of the Indonesia Open 2022 against Malaysian representatives Aaron Chia/Soh Wooi Yik at Istora Senayan, Jakarta, on Friday, June 17.

"Looking at the results, it might take 3-6 months, but it also depends on the healing process of people, Yere's ability and everyone is different, we'll see what the Yere case looks like first," said the Head of the PBSI Medical Team, Dr. Grace Joselini Corlesa, MMRS., Sp. .KO, in Jakarta, Saturday, June 18.

After the incident Yere was immediately evacuated and sent to the hospital for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

However, the details of the athlete's injury have not been revealed.

Yere certainly had to undergo therapy for several months. In the process, the team will carry out several tests and further actions to determine further prognosis.

Grace said, what is certain is that the 22-year-old player will certainly not undergo surgery.

"As for the diagnosis, from a medical point of view, we have not been able to tell what kind of diagnosis the patient has, we can only say that there is indeed a knee injury and it needs to be done further," he said.

Jeremiah was adamant to continue the match even though he was injured.

Unfortunately, his efforts did not bear fruit, so he and his colleague Pramudya Kusumawardana had to be eliminated from the BWF Super 1000 event.
