TIL Desk Sports/ Bitterly disappointed to miss upcoming international friendlies against Oman and UAE as he recovers from COVID-19, India football captain Sunil Chhetri is hopeful that his teammates will give a good account of themselves against the two tough Asian sides. The Bengaluru FC skipper is set to miss the two friendlies in Dubai on March 25 (UAE) and 29 (Oman) after he tested positive for COVID-19 earlier this month.
“…to lose out on International football for an entire year was such a big disappointment. But these are unprecedented times and they aren’t in our control. So, we have little to complain about,” he told the All India Football Federation’s official website.
“That said I am both excited and grateful about the two friendlies which the Blue Tigers will play this month against some quality opposition which only betters the anticipation. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to be a part of it,” he added. Chhetri said getting to play against the regional powerhouses is a great opportunity for the team.
