Punjab FC Coach Dilmperis Backs Nikhil Prabhu’s ‘deserved’ National Team Call-up
Indian Super League: Punjab FC have been one of the better defensive teams in the Indian Super League 2024-25 season and a lot of the credit falls to their midfield general, Nikhil Prabhu who plays in the heart of the team. Punjab FC head coach Panagiotis Dilmperis claimed that the holding midfielder ‘matches the demands’ for the national team and deserves a call-up.
“Prabhu is working hard under our guidance. We try to develop him in his new position. First of all as a player and then tactically. Through time he will develop technically and he has a lot of future in front of him. With his performance, he deserves a national team call-up, especially when the national team has to defend. If you look at his stats you can see he does not lose the ball. He matches the demands of the national team,” Dilmperis told IANS.
Having gotten off to a stellar start to the season that has seen Prabhu win the PFC Sher of the Month award (Club’s player of the month) having won 35 duels, 11 aerial duels, made 18 interceptions and made 38 recoveries, the 24-year old is yet to play for India.
