    The All India Football Federation: The All India Football Federation (AIFF) and FC Goa said in a joint statement on Friday that Indian defender Sandesh Jhingan suffered a cheekbone fracture during India’s CAFA Nations Cup 2025 match against Iran.

    Jhingan suffered the injury during the first half of the game against Iran, which India lost 0-3 but continued on the pitch and played the entire 90 minutes, once again proving to be a true warrior for the Men in Blue. He was subsequently ruled out of the remaining CAFA Cup matches and returned to India on Wednesday.

    "The All India Football Federation (AIFF) and FC Goa express their full support for Sandesh Jhingan, who sustained a cheekbone fracture while on national duty with the Senior Indian Men's National Team. Sandesh is under expert medical care in Goa, and his recovery and rehabilitation are being closely monitored," the statement read.
