ANAS COMEBACK A BOOST FOR BLUE TIGERS AHEAD OF OMAN TIE
India head coach Igor Stimac praised the ‘character’ of Anas Edathodika, who despite losing his mother, has opted to join the Blue Tigers two days before they face-off against Oman at the Sultan Qaboos Sports Complex Stadium in Muscat, Oman on Tuesday, November 19, 2019. The match will kick-off at 08:30 PM IST (07:00 PM local time).
"We suffer from time to time when players get injured or due to other problems. He (Anas) had to leave the camp and go back before the Afghanistan game, as his mother passed away," said Stimac.
The gaffer continued, "But I want to mention that he has come back to serve to country. I have players like him in our team and I'm proud of them. His return boosts the team.”
Gurpreet Singh Sandhu, who joined Stimac for the pre-match press conference also shared Anas' grief and praised his 'unparalleled commitment to the National Team’.
"I was very sorry to hear about his loss, it is a difficult time for him and his family. My prayers are with him. His commitment to the National Team is unparalleled and something that fuels our desire to go out there and play our hearts out," Sandhu expressed.
India skipper Sunil Chhetri indicated that "staying with the team and playing" might help him come out of these tough days.
"It is pure strength shown by our experienced Anas-bhai. I can only imagine how difficult it must be for him and the grief inside him. I hope staying with the team and playing football helps him in the process," an emotional Chhetri stated.

Hats off to Anas for showing such terrific spirit, take a bow!!
I remember when Yasif Yakubu went on to play for East Bengal and even score twice in an I-League match against Churchill Brothers to register a victory for his team even after hearing the news of his mother's passing away in the morning.
