AFTER suffering an injury due to a hard impact and having to be withdrawn from the field when facing PS Barito Putera, last Sunday (20/10), PSS defender Fachruddin Aryanto is now starting to improve and is ready to be used again in the upcoming match.
Fachruddin, said PSS team doctor Dr. Lutfi Afifuddin explained that in the match Fachruddin suffered a tear above his eyelid in the 25th minute. This defender from Klaten received the injury after being hit during a duel.
“Fachruddin suffered a tear above his eyelid due to the impact. This happened when he had a duel with an opposing player. Currently the wound has been stitched and conditioned,” he said after training at Pakembinangun Field, Sleman, Thursday (24/10), morning.
Lutfi revealed that the complaint experienced by the 35 year old defender did not lead to a head injury. He ensured that Fachruddin was in a safe condition and could take part in training.
“Currently, our medical team just needs to treat the wound. For example, we change the dressing after every workout so it doesn’t get too damp,” he said.
Currently, Fachruddin Wahyudi Aryanto has started to recover from his injury and is ready to be used in the next match after undergoing intensive treatment and recovery.
Fachruddin’s return from injury certainly provides new hope for PSS Sleman. The PSS team is ready to continue their struggle in League 1 with full strength, and Fachruddin will again be an important part of that mission. (N-2)
