Misfiring Indian wingers a cause for concern

Before the 2019-20 season of Indian Super League (ISL) and I-League kicked off, one of the biggest worries for India head coach Igor Stimac would have been about finding a goalscoring striker for his team.

The dependence on Sunil Chhetri for goals has been a problem and Jeje Lalpekhlua's recovery from his injury did not help matters. A few months into the season, not only has he struggled to come up with an answer to the striker problem, he also has a new concern on the flanks.

Often when the strikers go missing in front of goal, it is the wingers of a team that poses a serious threat in the attacking third.
