In the end, it turned out to be expensive for the Mariners to play the neutral Kalinga Stadium home game against the Bangladeshi powerhouse. In the ninety-second minute of the game, Ali took a blow to the ankle. After receiving immediate medical attention, he was replaced. The player had his ankle wrapped around bandages as he was taken out of the stadium.
Ferrando moved in an uncomfortably manner and did not go into detail about the extent of the injuries. The Mariners may suffer a major blow if Ali is forced to miss a large period of action due to this ailment. The centre back and Indian international is uncertain about the World Cup qualifiers. However, it is not known until when the player is out of the action.
On September 7, 2023, three CONMEBOL zone matches were played to kick off qualification. The qualifiers for India begins next month on November 6 against Kuwait followed by a match with Qatar on November 21.
Anwar signed a pre-contract in January 2023 and joined Mohun Bagan Super Giant on a four-year loan from Delhi FC on July 13, 2023.
When will Anwar Ali be back in action?
There is no information about his return. However, Anwar Ali is expected to miss India’s FIFA World Cup qualifier matches
Meanwhile, in their third Group D match in the AFC Cup 2023–24, Bangladeshi team Bashundhara Kings and Mohun Bagan Super Giant drew 2-2. Dimitri Petratos gave Mohun Bagan the lead, but Dorielton immediately pulled one back. Asish Rai cut the deficit to one goal, but Robinho’s brilliance gave Bashundhara a second goal and a point to seal the victory. Despite the loss, Mohun Bagan stays on top of the table in Group D while their opponents stand on second position with less three points than the table toppers.
