New Delhi, May 8 (IANS) Forward Edmund Lalrindika has been named replacement for Irfan Yadwad, who will be unavailable due to an appendix operation, in the 28-member probables squad that will assemble in Kolkata on May 18, to train for the FIFA International window in June.
“Forward Edmund Lalrindika will report to the Senior India National Team camp on May 18, in place of Irfan Yadwad, who will be unavailable due to an appendix operation,” the Indian Football team wrote on X.
Lalrindika made his international debut against Kuwait on June 6 in a 0-0 draw. The Mizoram forward also scored four goals and five assists during the 2024-25 season, which saw his I-League club Inter Kashi finish second, one point behind leaders Churchill Brothers.
