Prolific striker Sunil Chhetri has been named as the skipper of the India team which will take on hosts Guam in the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers in Hagatna, the capital of the Western Pacific island nation.
While India went down 1-2 after a spirited fight to higher-ranked Oman in their previous preliminary joint qualification round 2, Guam created history by winning against Turkmenistan by a solitary goal.
However, India would draw inspiration from the fact that they defeated Guam 4-0 in their previous match, besides counting the positives from their narrow defeat to Oman at Bangalore.
Chhetri made a statement by scoring a fantastic goal against Oman and the Bengaluru FC skipper will look to add to his tally against Guam.
As far as the team combination is concerned, coach Constantine is unlikely to fiddle with the line-up.
