This is coming after initial confusions over the real state
of the coach’s health prior to the first leg of the CHAN
qualifiers last week.
The NFF had initially stated that the coach was okay and
that he would be available for the match, but later made a
u-turn on the situation, stating that he was sick and
would be away .
