Persija’s Star Striker Gustavo Almeida Sidelined Again After New Injury Blow
Persija Jakarta suffered another setback as their key striker, Gustavo Almeida, confirmed he would be sidelined indefinitely due to injury. The Brazilian forward shared the update on his personal social media account, expressing disappointment and gratitude toward supporters who have stood by the team through recent matches. His absence is a major loss for Persija, who are battling to improve their form in the ongoing BRI Super League 2025-26 season.
Gustavo has been one of Persija’s most influential players since joining the club, finishing last season as their top scorer with 18 goals. However, this campaign has been far less smooth for the 29-year-old. He missed the first five matches of the season due to a preseason injury and has only managed to appear in four games so far, contributing one goal and one assist in limited minutes. His reduced impact has been evident on the field, where he appeared more cautious and less aggressive than usual.
The striker revealed that he had been playing through pain in recent weeks but has now decided, along with the team’s medical staff, to take a break to recover fully. His decision to rest comes as Persija continue to struggle for attacking consistency, making his absence even more concerning for the team’s chances in the league. The club will now need to rely on their remaining forwards to fill the void left by their main goal threat.
Despite the setback, Gustavo remains optimistic about returning stronger. He emphasized his commitment to the team and his determination to come back at full strength to help Persija achieve their season objectives. His recovery will be closely watched by fans and management alike, as his presence on the pitch has been vital to the club’s attacking identity since his arrival in Jakarta.
