Stephen Constantine names 30 probables for India’s friendly against Jordan
India football coach Stephen Constantine has named a list of 30 probable players from which the team for the upcoming friendly encounter against Jordan will be picked. Last month, the Indian colts toured China for a friendly where they managed to secure a draw against better-ranked side China.
The Indian team will travel to Jordan to play a friendly match against China which will take place in King Abdullah International Stadium on November 17th. On Friday, Constantine announced a list of 30 probable players for the same match.
Last month, the Indian football team toured China for the first time to play an International friendly against their side. India, ranked 97, managed to hold a much better ranked 77 Chinese to a goalless draw, and the Indian coach would like to improve on that performance against the Jordanian side which is currently ranked 112th in FIFA rankings.
“We expect to play our game and try to win. When we play against the likes of China and Jordan, you need to understand that we are facing good teams. We will have to build on our previous result,” Constantine said.
“Our main focus will be to stay in shape with and without the ball,” he added.
