Indonesian men’s doubles pair Leo Rolly Carnando and Daniel Marthin have withdrawn from the 2026 Denmark Open after Daniel sustained an arm injury. The withdrawal, confirmed by the Badminton Association of Indonesia (PBSI), removes the duo from the tournament, which is scheduled to take place from October 13–18, 2026.
Injury diagnosis and training withdrawal
The injury occurred during a training session at the tournament’s main hall. Antonius Budi Arianto, speaking on behalf of the PBSI, reported that Daniel Marthin complained of shoulder pain immediately following the practice. Despite attempts by team physiotherapists to manage the injury through treatment, the inflammation remained severe the following morning, preventing the pair from competing.
Impact on European tournament schedule
The decision to pull the pair from the Denmark Open was made by team coaches to prioritize Daniel’s recovery. Leo and Daniel, gold medalists at the 2026 Asian Games, were originally scheduled to continue their European tour at the French Open, which runs from October 20–25. Antonius stated that the primary objective of the withdrawal is to ensure the player is fit enough to compete in France the following week.
Status of the 2026 Denmark Open field
With Leo and Daniel’s departure, Indonesia loses one of its planned entries in the men’s doubles category for the Denmark Open. Coaching staff remain optimistic that the injury is not long-term and that the pair can resume their competitive schedule shortly.
