With a build-up marred by several players missing the first half of the national camp, the Indian football team faces a tough Singapore in a crucial AFC Asian Cup third-round qualifier on Thursday.

“If we play away first, we need a positive result to start with,” said head coach Khalid Jamil, adding that last month’s CAFA Cup helped refine the side’s preparation and focus.
