East Bengal’s head coach Carles Cuadrat also maintained that Anwar was not in his plans for the opener.
“I have spoken to the player, and he’s going to be very important for us. We have to understand that he’s not going to play tomorrow, so we have to plan with the rest of the players. He’s training very well,” Cuadrat said.
“We know he is going to be an important player for the club, but we understand the situation that is not in our hands,” Cuadrat added.
