XtraTime Web Desk: Indian Football Team Captain Sunil Chhetri comes forward on Friday advised all national team footballers across age groups to take care of their diet and sleep at the right time during this COVID-19 induced lockdown phase as he felt these important routines tend to get disturbed at this time of inactivity.
All India Football Federation (AIFF) President Praful Patel joined national team players across all age-groups via a video conference to get a feel of their well-being.
India’s record goalscorer Chhetri, an icon for all footballers in the country, urged everyone to “eat and sleep well.”
“The lockdown tends to disturb your schedule a lot as everyone tends to sleep at awkward times. That also affects your diet. So as players we need to be extra careful and stick to our routines,” said the 35-year old as per a statement shared by AIFF.
Besides Chhetri, Sandesh Jhingan, Anirudh Thapa and Amrinder Singh were in attendance along with Bala Devi, Aditi Chauhan, and Dangmei Grace from the women’s senior team.
