Report from Tribune Jatim Network Journalist, Rifky Edgar
TRIBUNMADURA.COM, MALANG – Ariel Lucero is one of two Arema FC players who were not brought to Solo to face PSS Sleman in Week 31 of Liga 1 2023/2024.
Apart from Ariel, there is Arkhan Fikri who did not participate because he received a call to strengthen the U23 national team in the Asian Cup.
The absence of these two players can be seen from the list of 21 names of Arema FC players who were brought to face PSS Sleman.
According to information from internal team sources, Ariel Lucero suffered an injury.
Likewise, from the observations of the East Java Tribune during training before the Eid holiday yesterday, Ariel Lucero underwent his own training on the side of the field.
The Argentinian player’s left thigh was also compressed with ice.
Ariel just warmed up and jogged casually while accompanied by Arema FC Physiotherapy, Retta Arryoyan.
“Ariel is injured,” said the text message received by Tribun Jatim Network from an internal source at Arema FC on Sunday (14/4/2024).
Based on information from the same source, Ariel has suffered a hamstring injury since early April 2024.
However, Ariel’s hamstring injury is predicted to heal in about a week.
Ariel was also seen in the Arema FC team’s training session after Eid.
In the photos released by Arema FC on social media, the 25 year old player also took part in training with other Arema FC players.
With the absence of Ariel Lucero and Arkhan Fikri, Singo Edan lost the team’s attack motor.
