UTRECHT – The injury suffered by Indonesian national team player Ivar Jenner is slowly starting to improve. This Jong Utrecht player hopes that he will be ready to defend the Indonesian national team in the 2023 Asian Cup.
Ivar has not appeared in the Indonesian National Team squad since the first round of the 2026 World Cup Qualifications. He was not brought into the squad when the Indonesian National Team twice slaughtered Brunei Darussalam with a score of 6-0 in October 2023.
Then, Ivar was also not visible when the Indonesian National Team played in the second round of the 2026 World Cup Qualifications. Ivar’s absence in the midfield of the Garuda squad was quite noticeable.
The Indonesian national team was slaughtered 1-5 by Iraq, then only managed to draw 1-1 with the Philippines. An injury that has not yet recovered is the reason Ivar has not been able to return to the Red and White squad.
The good news is that Ivar reported that the injury he suffered is starting to improve. This 19 year old midfielder also hopes that he will be ready to defend the Indonesian national team in the upcoming 2023 Asian Cup.
“I hope I return in the next period, in January with the (Indonesian) National Team,” wrote Ivar when answering netizens’ questions on Insta Story on his personal account, @ivarjnr, Sunday (26/11/2023).
The Indonesian national team will undergo a training camp (TC) in Turkey in December 2023. It is hoped that Ivar can take part in TC in Turkey to prepare himself for the 2023 Asian Cup.
Shin Tae-yong’s team will certainly really need Ivar’s energy. The reason is, the Garuda squad is part of a difficult group in the 2023 Asian Cup, namely Group D along with Vietnam, Iraq and Japan.
