The Indian camp stationed at Bengaluru ahead of the Panama friendly reached full attendance after Sahal Abdul Samad, Manvir Singh, and Anwar Ali joined the camp on Sunday.

The three players were the last to join the camp because of prior commitments. Sahal, and Manvir were plying their trade for Mohun Bagan in the Calcutta Football League, where the Mariners went on to win the competition. Anwar was part of the East Bengal team that drew 2-2 against Jordanian side Al-Hussein.

India will take on Panama on September 25 at the Sree Kanterava Stadium before it will lock horns with Brazil in a highly-anticipated clash at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata on October 3. The Blue Tigers will then face Uruguay on October 6, also in Kolkata.
