DHAKA, June 1, 2021 (BSS)- Winger Mohammad Ibrahim is now mentally and physically fit and ready to play Bangladesh’s remaining three matches of the FIFA World Cup 2022 qualifiers being COVID-19 negative after his second test in Qatar.
“I am mentally and physically fit and will join the team and try to make place in the team by doing hard work in the practice session,” said Ibrahim through a video message today.
Ibrahim, who reached Qatar yesterday (Monday)after being COVID-19 negative, said they have three matches against Afghanistan, India and Oman … and he sought prayer to all for a good result.
The winger also did not forget to thank the Bangladesh Football Federation and his club (Bashundhara Kings) for giving him support during his illness and again sought prayer to all so that the team can return home with a good result.
