Injury Woes Deepen for Indonesia National Team as Kevin Diks and Maarten Paes Join Ole Romeny on the Sidelines
The Indonesia national football team is facing growing concerns as two more players, Kevin Diks and Maarten Paes, have suffered injuries shortly after Ole Romeny was sidelined. Diks got injured while playing for Borussia Monchengladbach during a DFB Pokal match against SVA Delmenhorst, where he had to be substituted at halftime due to cramps. Meanwhile, Paes was absent from FC Dallas’s squad during their recent MLS match because of a thigh injury.
Despite these setbacks, Borussia Monchengladbach’s officials expressed cautious optimism about Diks’ recovery, hoping he could return to training and possibly feature in upcoming matches soon. His coach mentioned that the injury was mainly due to cramps, which prompted a precautionary substitution rather than a more serious issue. On the other hand, Paes' injury details remain unclear, but it is confirmed that the goalkeeper is dealing with a thigh problem that prevented him from playing.
These injuries come at a critical time for the Indonesia national team, as they prepare for friendly matches against Kuwait and Lebanon in September 2025 in Surabaya. The team is already set to miss Romeny, who suffered a broken leg during the 2025 President’s Cup, adding to the pressure on the squad’s depth and readiness.
With the uncertain recovery timelines for Diks and Paes, Indonesia faces the challenge of managing their squad and finding suitable replacements ahead of these important fixtures. The accumulation of injuries could impact their performance and strategy in the upcoming international matches.
