India stay on top of Group A at the moment, courtesy back-toback “hard-earned” victories over Myanmar and the Kyrgyz Republic. “Qualification to the 2019 Asian Cup stays the priority. It will be nice to work with the boys again. They will be coming after a long break and we need to work hard for them to attain the fitness levels which are required for an International match,” Constantine said.
“The boys need to play matches to understand each other better,” the coach added.
India are currently ranked 97 in the FIFA ladder. The national team, courtesy 13 victories in the last 15 matches (including the unofficial match against Bhutan), have moved up 76 places since March 2015.
