Dedi Kusnandar returns to field after severe injury

Dedi Kusnandar, Persib Bandung midfielder, marked his first appearance after a lengthy absence due to serious injury — a right fibula fracture he suffered against Barito Putera seven months ago.

The Maung Bandung central player was forced to end his Liga 1 2024-2025 season early due to the injury sustained in mid-December.

The opportunity to play again came as Persib Bandung faced Dewa United in their second Group B match of the 2025 President’s Cup — however his team had to settle for a 1-1 draw.
