Gustavo Almeida, who had recently been loaned to Persija Jakarta, sustained an injury during his inaugural match with the team. The forward was only able to participate for 36 minutes before being compelled to exit the field due to the injury. This incident transpired during Persija Jakarta’s fixture against Bhayangkara FC in the 20th week of Liga 1 2023/2024.
As a consequence of this injury, it is anticipated that Gustavo Almeida will be absent for a considerable duration. Thomas Doll, the coach of Persija Jakarta, stated in an official declaration that he anticipates the injury may sideline Gustavo for 3-4 weeks.
Gustavo Almeida’s inclusion in the team was perceived as a potential remedy to their challenges in the attacking department. He had previously distinguished himself as a leading goal scorer while competing for Arema FC in Liga 1 2023/2024, netting 14 goals in 16 matches. However, with his unfortunate injury during his debut for Persija Jakarta, the team now finds themselves in need of a new sharpshooter.
Thomas Doll conveyed his apprehension regarding the situation and expressed his wish for a prompt recovery for Gustavo Almeida. He articulated that having to make alterations to the team’s lineup at the outset of a pivotal match against Bhayangkara FC was less than ideal, and he eagerly anticipates Gustavo’s expeditious return to action.
