SKOR.id - Pelatih Timnas U-23 Indonesia, Gerald Vanenburg, mengakui betapa pentingnya Arkhan Fikri, begitu pula Ketua Umum PSSI, Erick Thohir.

Timnas U-23 Indonesia berhasil memastikan diri lolos ke semifinal Piala AFF U-23 2025 atau ASEAN U-23 Championship 2025 sebagai juara Grup A.

Namun pada pertandingan pamungkasnya di fase grup, Garuda Muda hanya bermain imbang 0-0 menghadapi Timnas U-23 Malaysia, Senin (21/7/2025).

Soal duel di Stadion Utama Gelora Bung Karno (SUGBK), Jakarta, Gerald Vanenburg pun langsung menyinggung soal absennya Arkhan Fikri untuk tim.

Tanpa ditanya oleh awak media, lelaki yang juga asisten pelatih Patrick Kluivert di Timnas Indonesia (senior) itu mengakui pentingnya peran sang gelandang.

"Saya kira melawan Timnas U-23 Malaysia pertandingan yang sulit. Mereka bermain rapat dan defensif," katanya di awal konferensi pers selepas laga.

"Hari ini kami kehilangan pemain seperti Arkhan Fikri, padahal dia mampu bermain leluasa di antarlini. Tapi beruntung hasilnya imbang dan layak dipuji."

"Barisan pertahanan (Timnas U-23 Indonesia) tampil luar biasa dan semua pemain tampil memberikan yang terbaik," Gerald Vanenburg menambahkan.

Lebih lanjut pelatih asal Belanda itu mengungkapkan bahwa absennya Arkhan Fikri di skuad Garuda Muda karena cedera dan sedang didalami masalahnya.

Sadar betapa pentingnya peran gelandang Arema FC itu untuk Timnas U-23 Indonesia, sang juru taktik pun berharap problem yang dialami tak terlalu serius.

"Soal Arkhan, kita harus tunggu dulu karena dia akan melakukan MRI satu atau dua hari ke depan. Tetapi saya harap semua baik-baik saja." ujar Gerald.

"Sekarang saya belum bisa bicara banyak karena saya belum tahu bagaimana kondisinya. Kami punya empat hari jeda, saya harap itu cukup," ia melanjutkan.

Sementara itu di lain tempat, Erick Thohir yang menyaksikan langsung laga Timnas U-23 Indonesia vs Malaysia pun merasa pentingnya kehadiran Arkhan.

Ada kekhawatiran jelang pertandingan semifinal yang akan dijalani Timnas U-23 Indonesia pada Piala AFF U-23 2025, yakni Jumat (25/7/2025) malam.

‎"Sayangnya Arhan Fikri cedera. Kita masih menunggu apakah cederanya tidak bisa bermain di (sisa) turnamen ini. Kalau sampai tidak bermain, ya kita kehilangan (kekuatan) lini tengah," ucap Erick Thohir.

‎"Seperti yang kita lihat, walaupun permainan lini tengah (Timnas U-23 Indonesia) baik, tapi kan ada beberapa finishing touch yang hilang ke (barisan) depan."

"Tadi saya lihat Toni (Firmansyah) juga (bermasalah), saya nggak tahu kabarnya seperti apa, tapi kalau ternyata nanti Toni tidak bisa bermain juga, ini menjadi sebuah kekurangan di lini tengah yang lebih parah," ia mengungkapkan.

Adapun pada semifinal ASEAN U-23 Championship 2025, Timnas U-23 Indonesia akan berhadapan dengan juara Grup C atau runner-up dari Grup B/C, di SUGBK.
