Barath Suresh, Claudio Kammerknecht, Dillon De Silva, Jack Hingert and Jason Thayaparan return to the fold for Sri Lanka as the Football Federation names an impeccable squad for the November Friendlies against Yemen.
The two-legged FIFA Friendlies are set to take place in Doha, Qatar, as a strong Sri Lanka squad continues its build-up towards the next phase of AFC Qualifying.
Sacayaradjy Steven, Wade Dekker, and Waseem Razeek are the three players missing out on the 24-man squad, as the FFSL has replaced them with five players who impressed in the Sri Lanka jersey. Newly appointed head coach Abdullah Almutairi aims to build on his promising start with the team.
Dillon’s return following injury will no doubt boost Sri Lanka’s attack, along with Jack and Jason, as they were sorely missed in the forwards lineup against Myanmar. Claudio’s addition will also strengthen the Sri Lankan defense.
The first game is scheduled for the 16th of November, with the second game three days later on the 19th, as Sri Lanka faces 154th-ranked Yemen in what promises to be two thrilling matches.
Sri Lanka is currently ranked 203rd in the world, following a draw and a loss in their most recent encounters with Myanmar.
