Arema FC has escaped the crisis of fullback when visiting Persija Jakarta, in the continuation of the 1st League Shopee season 2019. The club with the fist lion logo has been able to re-use the services of their flagship fullback, Alfin Tuasalamony, on the trip.
Previously, Alfin suffered an injury to the ankle of his right leg in the counter-Rhinos match Lampung FC some time ago. As a result of this injury, the 26-year-old player had to miss the last three matches of his team.
"Alfin has completed the recovery process," said the doctor Arema team, Dr. Nanang Tri Wahyudi SpKO.
Without Alfin, Arema had only had a fullback pair, Johan Ahmat Farizi and Agil Munawar, only. Because, another fullback owned by Arema, Ricky Akbar Ohorella, also suffered an injury to the right toe thumb dislocation.
Arema itself will face Persija Jakarta in the match of Week 12 of the 1st League Shopee season 2019. This match will be held at the Bung Karno Main Stadium in Jakarta, Saturday (03/08) afternoon.
