The Indian football team leaves for Manama, the capital of Bahrain on the 21st. The Indian team will face Bahrain and Belarus respectively in the International Friendly Football Tournament to be held there on the 23rd and 26th. Both the matches start at 9.30 pm Indian time.
Will the Indian team take part in the match against Belarus, which is in support of Russia, which is at war with Ukraine? Is in doubt.
The 37-year-old forward and captain Sunil Chhetri has been left out of India’s squad for the international friendly in Bahrain.
In an interview to the Indian Football Federation website, Sunil Chhetri said, ‘I was looking forward to the two friendly football matches to be played in Bahrain. It makes me very sad to miss this match. I have suffered some minor injuries in the current long season.
It takes time to heal. I will do everything I can to recover before the training camp in May. ‘ The departure of Sunil Chhetri is seen as a setback for the Indian team.
