Gurpreet Singh Sandhu:  The updated Indian men's football team for the Asian Games, revised by the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports on Friday, is causing much confusion over the inclusion of goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu and defender Sandesh Jhingan in the squad.

While the Sports Ministry has included Sandhu and Jhinghan in the squad for Hangzhou, the Indian Super League (ISL) has not verified the release of these players, nor has the All-India Football Federation (AIFF) stated anything on this matter.

The list of 655 players for the Asian Games released on Thursday by the Ministry significantly looks different from the list released by AIFF earlier on Wednesday.
