More bad news than good

ATIQUE An AM from Kathmandu
The injury list continues to lengthen as Bangladesh try to recover from their moraleshattering defeat against Nepal and seek inspiration ahead of their crucial encounter against favourites India on Tuesday.
Striker Sakhawat Hossain Rony, who came in as a substi-
tute in Saturday's match, was the latest inclusion to the injury list as he aggravated a groin injury during the match and is likely to be ruled out of the tournament. Goalkeeper Mamun Khan also received a shin-bone injury while trying to make a save towards the end of the match, though it was learnt that his damage was not that serious. Skipper Mamunul Islam is still in rehabilitation process and likely to miss the crucial match too. But the good news is midfielder Sohel Rana is fit enough to play.
The team had a training session yesterday morning where coach Lodewijk de Kruif pointed out the mistakes to his players and tried to motivate them for the big match.
"For us it is important that we learn from our mistakes. What I told the players is that we had a hammer on our head yesterday. We did not perform well in organisation, especially in defensive organisation," said the Dutchman before the practicesession.
Having lost against Nepal in the tournament opener, Bangladesh face six-time champions India, knowing that a defeat against the favourites would end their hopes of progressing through the group stages. In the face of adversity, the coach tried to put on a brave face.
"India is the most important game in our life at the moment. We have to look back a bit, and learn from our mistakes against Nepal and focus on India. In football everything is possible. If you don't believe it, you better stay at home," said the 43-year-oId coach.
But he believes that not having Mamunul fit for the match is a big blow to the team.
"In the position that Mamunul plays, he is the best player of the country. It's hard to replace him. For that position, we need a real number 10, who is Mamunul," felt the Dutchman.
Mamunul also understands the gravity of a positive result in the next match. "After the poor display against Nepal, we were all frustrated but today [Sunday] morning the coach had a briefing with us and we also realised the importance of the match against India," said the injured captain.
Manunul is seeking inspiration from the 1999 Kathmandu SAF Games. Bangladesh were staring down the barrel, having lost against Maldives 2-0 in the opening match before going on to beat Nepal in the final to win the trophy.
"We are not finished yet. We were in a similar situation in 1999, but we won that tournament. That is what I am telling my teammates," said an optimistic Mamunul.
