Hyderabad: Sunil Chhetri is likely to miss India's 2022 FIFA World Cup round two qualifiers against Qatar on Tuesday as he is down with fever. He skipped a single practice session from the time the Indian team landed in Doha. He was also taken to a local hospital for a check-up on Monday.
If Chhetri doesn't play the match it will be a huge blow to Igor Stimac's men.
The 35-year-old forward scored India's solitary goal against Oman in Guwahati on September 5. But India lost the match 1-2.
In his absence, India's forward line may fall flat. However, his absence will create an opportunity for the likes of Balwant Singh and Manvir Singh who will like to make the most of this opportunity. Gurpreet Singh Sandhu may wear the captain's armband.
Qatar, ranked 62nd, will start the Group E match against their 103-ranked opponents as favourites. They will eye for their second consecutive win after handing Afghanista 6-0 defeat in their campaign opener.
