Ole Romeny Faces Injury Setback, Likely Out of Indonesia Squad Until October
Ole Romeny, a key striker for both Oxford United and the Indonesian national team, may be sidelined from international duty until at least October 2025 due to an injury he sustained during a match in the President's Cup. The injury occurred after a heavy tackle by Paulinho Moccelin in a game against Arema FC, where Romeny was seen struggling to walk post-match and later appeared wearing an ankle walker boot on his right foot, indicating a serious ankle issue.
The incident has raised concerns within the Indonesian national team setup, especially considering Romeny’s growing importance to the squad. With three international goals already under his belt, his absence could significantly impact the team's performance in upcoming fixtures. His injury timeline casts doubt on his availability for the FIFA Matchday in September, which is a crucial period for international team preparation.
Team manager Sumardji expressed uncertainty regarding Romeny's recovery, suggesting it may be optimistic to expect his return by September. However, the coaching staff is hopeful that the striker can recover in time for the fourth round of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers scheduled in October. They remain cautious but are not ruling out a potential comeback later in the year.
Romeny’s injury comes at a critical juncture for Indonesia, as they aim to build momentum heading into high-stakes international matches. The coaching team is monitoring his condition closely and plans to provide updates as his rehabilitation progresses. Until then, the national team may need to explore alternative attacking options to fill the void left by the 25-year-old forward.
