‘Belief’ Fuelled Faruk Choudhary's Three-year Wait To Don Indian Jersey After ACL Injury
Faruk Choudhary: It took Farukh Choudhary three years to claw his way back into the Indian Football team but the striker completed his comeback from a serious ACL injury as he scored on his return against Vietnam on Saturday.
In 1099 days after his previous appearance for the country, Farukh didn't just make the starting eleven but also scored the important equaliser in the friendly against Vietnam in Nam Dịnh. A proper poacher's finish - getting in behind the centre-back and lobbing the ball above the onrushing keeper.
"I was working towards my comeback. I always knew that eventually, I would make it to the national team again. And when I say that I knew I would make it, it's not out of arrogance. It was the belief. I knew if I performed in ISL, I'd get a call-up for the camp. And then when I join the camp, it's up to me to make a place in the first eleven.
