Tariq Kazi was the focal point of the celebrations for the Bangladesh football team on Sunday night when the workers at the hotel, the majority of whom were from West Bengal, produced a cake to commemorate Bangladesh’s victory against Maldives in the SAFF Championship.
Tariq, who was injured on his left shin after giving Bangladesh a 2-1 lead, cut the cake amid tremendous cheers, but the center-back had to spend the most of the next day in bed and moved with the assistance of a pair of crutches.
Despite the fact that Rakib Hossain, who had also left the field with a cramp, attended the recovery session with the squad at the Hindustan Aeronautical Ltd Sports Club venue, Tariq did not attend training and is likely going to miss the team’s penultimate group encounter against Bhutan.
We could not locate any fractures in his shin, and he is not experiencing any discomfort; nevertheless, there is some swelling. Because he is unable to walk, the physiotherapist instructed him to rest for two days. Tomorrow (Tuesday), he will have to demonstrate his abilities at a test. Even if he wants to participate, it doesn’t seem like he’ll be able to make it to the game against Bhutan, according to Amer Khan, the manager of the squad.
