Surkumar ruled out:
Kolkata: Defender Surkumar Singh, who pulled a hamstring in the second friendly against Chinese Taipei on Tuesday, has been ruled out of the SAFF Championship in Maldives and Sri Lanka.
According to AIFF sources, though the national coach Bob Houghton is keeping his fingers crossed, the Manipuri, who plays for East Bengal, will be kept out of the SAFF squad.

“Houghton would take a decision only on Thursday. He hasn’t announced his final team yet.”
Surkumar’s injury could further weaken India’s defence. Houghton has been forced to shift Deepak Mondal to the left back position because of N.S. Manju’s injury. With Surkumar unavailable, Samir Naik or Syed Rahim Nabi might find a place in the side.
India play Nepal in the first match on June 4.
