Hamza Joins Practice Immediately Upon Arriving in Dhaka, Bangladesh Awaits Full Squad

From the report

England-based footballer Hamza Choudhury has joined the national team practice upon arriving in Dhaka. Another expatriate footballer, Farhan Ali Wahid, was also scheduled to join practice at the same time but arrived late in Dhaka due to flight complications. As a result, Bangladesh is getting the opportunity to practice with a full squad ahead of their crucial match against Sri Lanka.

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

Tomorrow, Wednesday, Bangladesh will play their final group stage match against Sri Lanka. If they win this match, the hosts will advance to the semi-finals as group toppers. With that goal in mind, coach Thomas Dooley’s team is scheduled to practice today with a full squad.
