Rahul Bheke kept in India squad for B'desh WC qualifier

Kolkata: Full-back Rahul Bheke was on Saturday retained in India's 23-member squad for the World Cup qualifier against Bangladesh to be played here on October 15 despite having an injury. Bheke picked up a groin injury but was part of India's preparatory camp in Guwahati. The Blue Tigers were dealt a blow when defensive mainstay Sandesh Jhingan was ruled out for six months after suffering an injury during India's friendly against ISL club NorthEast United FC (NEUFC) in Guwahati a few days back. Bheke did not take part in the friendly in which all other squad members played but Croatian head coach Igor Stimac has decided to keep him in the squad. IANS
