India's Football Team Faces Player Availability Issues Before Crucial Matches

The Indian national football team is getting ready for some important games to qualify for a big tournament called the Asian Cup.

But some players, including the team's captain Sunil Chhetri, haven't been able to join the training camp because their clubs haven't let them go yet.

This is making it hard for the coach, Khalid Jamil, to prepare the team properly, especially on defense.

The coach is asking the clubs and the football federation to work together to find a solution that allows players to play for both their clubs and their country.

They are playing against Singapore soon, and doing well in these games is important for the team to qualify.
