#2 Abdulla Yusuf Helal
Abdulla Yusuf Helal hasn't had a good tournament as he failed to find himself in the starting line-up in either of Bahrain's matches and was ineffective when he came off the bench. However, the Indian players should make a specific plan for him, as they did for Thailand's Chanathip Songkrasin, as he is the sole player from Bahrain playing in a European outfit.
The 25-year-old played for Czech club Bohemians 1905 in the 2018-19 season, finding the back of the net in 18 appearances. Seeing his brilliant performance, Czechoslovakia's top club Slavia Prague signed him but loaned him back to Bohemians 1905 for the rest of the season.
Given that it is a must-win match for Bahrain, coach Miroslav Soukup won't take the risk of not fielding him. Abdulla Yusuf Helal is scintillating when playing in the centre-forward position. And, if he can forge a partnership with Mohammed Al-Romaihi, the Indian defenders can have a nightmare.
