Apart from him, promising Abahani midfielder Shahedul Alam also sustained an ankle injury while Emon Babu has been suffering from knee injury and just played a Federation Cup match for Sheikh Russel KC before being picked up for the national camp.
The squad would be reduced to 25 members from 32 on the basis of their performance in the next one week, said Shantoo, who was given the charge following the termination of the contract of Brazilian coach Edson Silva Dido.
The players looked very serious at the camp to cement their places in the squad as the coach was basically working with the technical sides, which includes build-up the attack through wings as well as through the midfield, shooting, quick side-changes and defending own territory.
Meanwhile, the National Team Management Committee led by its chairman Badal Roy yesterday visited the BKSP to see the facilities provided by the BSKP and talked with the coaching staff on whether they faced any problems.
