PSS Sleman Boosts Midfield Strength with French Signing Frederic Injai for 2025-26 Season
PSS Sleman has strengthened its squad for the 2025-26 Liga 2 Indonesia season by signing French midfielder Frederic Injai. The 29-year-old becomes the club’s second confirmed foreign player, adding depth and experience to the team’s midfield ahead of their push for promotion. His arrival is seen as a strategic move to enhance competitiveness in a squad already featuring several seasoned and young talents.

Injai joins the team after playing for US Concarneau in the French third division, Championnat National. This marks his first professional stint outside France, and he has already begun training with the team. He expressed enthusiasm about his new environment, feeling welcomed by the coaching staff and teammates, which he sees as motivation to contribute significantly to PSS Sleman’s ambitions this season.

The club is aiming for a return to Liga 1, and Injai is expected to play a vital role in that mission. He brings not only the ability to control the game from midfield but also has aspirations to score goals and provide assists. His versatility and determination could offer the team an added edge in their upcoming campaign, especially in a league where physicality and tactical discipline are crucial.

His addition adds further depth to a midfield lineup that includes Kim Jeffrey Kurniawan, Dominikus Dion, Iman Fathurahman, and rising talent Rivans Relosa. Alongside Brazilian defender Cleberson Martins, who has been retained by the club, Injai’s presence strengthens the team’s foreign player quota and reflects PSS Sleman’s serious intent to compete at the top level of Liga 2 this season.
