Igor Stimac: Don’t be surprised if Sunil Chhetri, Sandesh Jhingan don’t play against China in Asian Games 2023

The Hindu  

The Indian men’s football team head coach Igor Stimac said that since his side will not have any training sessions, it intends to use the travelling time for tactical preparation, ahead of its Asian Games opening fixture in Hangzhou on Tuesday. “Don’t be surprised if I leave out Sunil and Jhingan for the first game.”Stimac on India’s team plans against China “The players are arriving at the airport at 5-6 p.m. today. We will have to just use this time wisely.” Stimac also noted that he will take a call on whether to risk the services of striker Sunil Chhetri and defender Sandesh Jhingan, two senior-most players in the squad, for the opener with one eye on the FIFA World Cup qualifiers next month. We will sit down and talk to Sunil and Jhingan.” Stimac’s original squad request had senior national team goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu along with several experienced U-24 players, who have played for India.
