Hamza Hits the Field Upon Arriving in Dhaka, Bangladesh Awaiting Full Strength

From the report

England-based footballer Hamza Chowdhury has joined the national team’s training session upon his arrival in Dhaka. Another expatriate footballer, Farhan Ali Wahid, was also expected to join at the same time but arrived late in Dhaka due to flight complications. Consequently, Bangladesh is now getting the opportunity to train with its full squad before the crucial match against Sri Lanka.

Host Bangladesh played their first SAFF Championship match against Bhutan without midfielder Hamza and winger Farhan. The red-green team started the tournament with a victory thanks to Mohammad Ibrahim’s lone goal. Later, with the match between Sri Lanka and Bhutan ending in a 2-2 draw, Bangladesh secured their semi-final spot with one game in hand.

Bangladesh will play their final group stage match against Sri Lanka tomorrow, Wednesday. A win in this match would see the hosts advance to the semi-finals as group toppers. With this goal in mind, coach Thomas Dooley’s team is scheduled to train with its full squad today.
