India look to win Nehru Cup

The Blue Tigers will be aiming to make it a third title in a row after winning the previous two tournaments.

Coach Wim Koevermans has called upon all the players at his disposal, including Sunil Chhetri, who is currently plying his trade in Portuguese Primeira Liga with Sporting Lisbon.

The Dutchman confirmed the striker’s involvement today during a press conference and claimed that the Lions had agreed to let him leave for the competition.

"I’m happy that we got confirmation from his club on his release on August 12 and that leaves us get enough time to work with the player to prepare ourselves for the Nehru Cup," added the trainer.

The full squad is as follows:

Goalkeepers: Subrata Pal, Subhasish Roychowdhury, Karanjeet Singh.

Defenders: Nirmal Chhetri, Denzil Franco, Gourmangi Singh, Gurwinder Singh, Raju Gaikwad, Khelemba Meitei, Syed Rahim Nabi, Mohan Raj.

Midfielders: Mehtab Hossain, Rocus Lamare, Milan Singh, Baldeep Singh, Jewel Raja, Francis Fernandes, Alwyn George, Anthony Pereira, Gilbert Oliviera, Sanju Pradhan, Clifford Miranda, Joaquim Abranches.

Forwards: Robin Singh, Sunil Chhetri, Manandeep Singh, Jeje Lalpekhlua.
