Tuesday was not a good day for Indian football. On Tuesday, the team was to travel to Manama, but seven players from Mumbai missed the flight. Now Team India will have to enter the friendly football match against Bahrain on Wednesday without these seven players.
The 25-member team was to leave for Manama, out of which seven players missed their flight and 18 players along with coach Igor Stimach reached Manama on Monday itself. After the match against Bahrain on Wednesday, Team India also has to play a match against Belarus on Saturday.
The players who missed the flight include goalkeeper Amarinder Singh, defender Chinglensana Singh, Akash Mishra, midfielders Anirudh Thapa, Brandon Fernandes, Aniket Yadav and Bipin Singh. It is being told that these players could not travel due to non-approved visa on time.
Coach Stimach said that seven players could not come. We had applied for visa two months back, but they did not get the approval. Hoping that he will leave soon. He will not be able to play in the match against Bahrain.
