Tragic Loan Spell for Persib Players: Henhen’s Red Card, No One Shines

News Summary:

• Seven Persib Bandung loan players have not received satisfactory playing time.
• Zalnando has lost his starting spot to Mario Jardel at Persita Tangerang.
• Henhen Herdiana received a red card in his last match for Persik Kediri.

Rancak Media – The 2025-2026 Super League season is proving to be a challenging period for seven Persib Bandung players currently out on loan. These athletes, distributed across seven different clubs, are finding it difficult to secure consistent minutes on the pitch, often relegated to the sidelines rather than becoming pivotal figures for their respective teams.

The players in question include Zalnando (Persita Tangerang), Henhen Herdiana (Persik Kediri), Dedi Kusnandar (Bhayangkara FC), Dimas Drajad (Malut United), Ikhwan Tanamal (Persis Solo), Ferdiansyah (Semen Padang), and Adzikry Fadlillah (Persijap Jepara). Their journey so far highlights a struggle for relevance, with many accumulating minimal playing time.

Here’s a closer look at their individual records:

1. Ferdiansyah

Ferdiansyah, a 22-year-old talent, has seen limited action for Semen Padang, appearing in just four matches for a total of 110 minutes. Despite his scant opportunities, he managed to contribute one assist for the “Kabau Sirah” squad, who currently find themselves at the bottom of the league standings. His last significant appearance was a 30-minute stint in Semen Padang’s 0-2 home loss to Persita Tangerang on October 4, 2025. Under the guidance of coach Dejan Antonic, Ferdiansyah has since been an unused substitute in the team’s last three fixtures.

2. Dedi Kusnandar

Dedi Kusnandar shares a similar plight with Ferdiansyah, enduring a difficult spell at Bhayangkara FC. The experienced 34-year-old defensive midfielder has participated in only three matches, accumulating a modest 90 minutes of playing time.

3. Zalnando

Initially, Zalnando enjoyed the confidence of coach Carlos Pena, playing full matches against PSM Makassar and Persijap Jepara. However, his role as a left-back was subsequently taken over by Mario Jardel, a natural in the position and a former Persib player. This shift has severely curtailed Zalnando’s playing time; he once played a mere single minute in a match against Semen Padang and has been confined to the bench for the last two games. The 27-year-old has totaled 189 minutes across four appearances, a stark contrast to Jardel’s 726 minutes over nine matches.

4. Henhen Herdiana

Henhen Herdiana found himself excluded from the squad lists for Persik Kediri’s encounters with Borneo FC and PSM Makassar. Nevertheless, he was reinstated to the starting lineup for their Week 11 clash against PSIM Yogyakarta. Unfortunately, his return was cut short after just 59 minutes in a 1-2 defeat, as he received a second yellow card, leading to an early dismissal. Despite this setback, Henhen has logged 374 minutes across five matches, notably playing full games against Malut United, Bhayangkara FC, and Persijap Jepara.

5. Ikhwan Tanamal

Ikhwan Tanamal, a player whose loan move to Persis Solo was not widely publicized, has made six appearances for his current team, tallying 359 minutes. While he was a regular feature in the early stages of the season, he has mysteriously disappeared from the squad list for the last four matches, raising questions about his current standing within the team.

6. Dimas Drajad

Intriguingly, Dimas Drajad is on loan to Malut United, a team currently performing exceptionally well and even sitting above Persib in the standings (third with 20 points, compared to Persib’s 19 points). Despite his team’s success, Dimas’s personal contribution has been minimal. He has only featured in three matches, accumulating a meager 54 minutes. His last appearance was in a 1-0 victory over Semen Padang in Week 10. In their subsequent away fixture against Persijap Jepara, Dimas remained an unused substitute.

7. Adzikry Fadlillah

Adzikry Fadlillah has had a more consistent run with Persijap Jepara, participating in seven matches and accumulating 251 minutes of playing time. After being omitted from the squad in the two preceding games, the 22-year-old midfielder was given 45 minutes on the field during their loss to Malut United, marking a return to action.
