5 Players who could be dropped from the Indian national team

#2 Gurpreet Singh Sandhu

Gurpreet Singh Sandhu shown a red card against Bengaluru FC

The goalkeeper started his career with East Bengal but made only 27 appearances in his five year stint at the club. After that, he signed for Norwegian club Stabaek. In his time in Europe, he became the first Indian to start a European top division league game. He also became the first Indian to make an appearance in a UEFA club competition.

After coming back from Europe, Gurpreet was signed by Bengaluru FC as they prepared for their first season in the ISL. The Punjab-born goalkeeper has conceded seven goals in six appearances including a very easy Jeje effort against Chennai. He was also red carded in that match for a moment of madness, hitting Lanzarote in the face and getting banned for the next two games.

Gurpreet has been a regular feature in the Indian starting XI, starting in 19 of his 20 appearances. He was able to snatch Subrata Pal's starting spot in the team in Pal's prime but given his recent performances, the Jamshedpur goalkeeper should come back into the starting XI instead of Singh.
