Actually, Kolkata’s Mohun Bagan Club’s early players were seven names.

However, Indian coach Jamil, taking a practical stance, said that he would work with the resources available with him.

Announcing the team in Bengaluru, Jamil said, “Whatever resources I have or available, they have to be used. The attitude of senior players like Anwar (Ali) and Sandesh (Jhingan) has been very good. I have got full support and I have no problem.” He further said, “Mohun Bagan players are not available, the rest of the players have come. I never felt that their mind is distracted. They know that they have to do well after landing on the field. My preparation is for the tournament.”

Jamil said, “In the coming days, a mutual understanding between the clubs will develop. And he hoped for better coordination for selection in the national team in the future. Jamil also clarified the situation about Sunil Chhetri, which was not included in the team. He said,” After this match, Sunil will be available. If he is fit, he is welcome. ” He indicated that this experienced striker could return to the end of the season.
