Manvir Singh is coming after winning the ISL Shield with the Mariners.
Woes continue for the Indian Football team with star forward Manvir Singh sidelined with an injury on the India vs Maldives matchday itself. India has gone more than 450 days without a win. The upcoming matches against Maldives and Bangladesh are crucial. The Blue Tigers will look to break their winless streak. They also aim to put on a strong performance under Manolo Marquez.
The Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Shillong is buzzing with excitement and enthusiasm ahead of the Blue Tiger’s vital two fixtures. Fans are eagerly waiting to see their Captain, Leader, Legend, Sunil Chhetri don the Indian jersey once again and score a lot of goals for the Blue Tigers.
However, India has suffered another setback. After Ashish Rai and Lallianzuala Chhangte’s injury, Manvir Singh has also been ruled out. The key forward has been released from the squad due to injury concerns. His absence will be a big blow to the team’s attacking options.
How badly will Marquez miss Manvir?
Manvir Singh’s absence is a big blow for India. The 29-year-old striker was in great form for Mohun Bagan Super Giant. He played a key role in their ISL Shield-winning campaign. His performances in the Indian Super League were outstanding.
Manolo Marquez will miss Manvir’s attacking presence. India has struggled to score goals in recent matches. With a long winless streak, they need firepower up front. Manvir’s speed, strength, and finishing would have been crucial. His absence puts more pressure on India’s other forwards. They must step up against Maldives and Bangladesh.
Can Naorem Mahesh rise to the big occasion?
Manolo Marquez now faces a major challenge in replacing Manvir Singh. One strong contender is Naorem Mahesh Singh. He has been a shining light for East Bengal despite their struggles in the ISL and AFC Challenge League. His consistency and skill make him a valuable option for India.
Mahesh is known for his quick runs into the box. His accurate crosses can create crucial goal-scoring opportunities. His dribbling and pace can trouble defenders. He also has a strong work ethic and tactical awareness. If given the chance, he could be the game-changer for India. His presence on the wing could be key against Maldives and Bangladesh.
