"Yes, it's very sad. Especially since I've always been close to A Bow and I've always monitored his condition after learning about his injury . It's very sad, especially since I'm very close to him," Beckham said, as quoted from Persib's official.
Febri sustained the injury during a team training session ahead of the match against Persik Kediri on March 1st. Persis team doctor Iwan Wahyu Utomo explained that Febri sustained the injury due to a misalignment when kicking the ball.
Upon further investigation, Iwan stated that Febri's problem was related to an old injury, namely an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in his left knee. This injury will keep Febri out for months.
When he found out that Febri had suffered the injury, Beckham admitted that he immediately contacted him.
"I hope he can be patient and recover more quickly . Hopefully, there won't be any further injuries or trauma, because sometimes a second injury can be traumatic," he said.
Support for Febri came not only from Beckham personally, but also from the entire Persib team. Beckham stated that the senior players and coaching staff continued to encourage Febri to focus on his recovery.
Meanwhile, at Persis, Febri just made his debut when his team drew 1-1 against PSBS Biak at Manahan Stadium, Solo, on February 21.
