REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- Ole Romeny's right leg surgery in the Netherlands on Thursday (27/7/2025) went smoothly. Now, Ole needs to undergo recovery so that he can return to the field as he was and as soon as possible.
“The operation went well. Come back soon. Happy (Alegria),” Ole wrote on his Instagram story.
The news about the operation of Ole was already delivered by PSSI General Chairman Erick Thohir when he met after attending the Law of The Game introduction event in Jakarta, Wednesday (16/7/2025).
Ole suffered the injury while defending for Oxford United in a 2025 Presidents Cup match against Arema on 10 July. At that time, he was severely restrained by Arema player Paulinho Moccelin.
It is not yet known how long Ole will have to be absent to undergo recovery. Earlier, Erick stated, Ole was going on a long break.
It is certain that Ole will miss the Indonesian national team for two FIFA Match Day matches in September, when Team Garuda plays Kuwait and Lebanon.
The matches against Kuwait and Lebanon will also be used as test matches against Middle Eastern teams. Because in the fourth round of the 2026 World Cup qualification of the Asian zone, the Indonesian national team will face teams from the region.
After the draw of the group members, Indonesia settled in Group B of the 2026 World Cup qualification Asian zone along with Saudi Arabia and Iraq. Those matches will be played on October 8 to 14.
