India vs Jordan: 5 Jordan stars to watch out for

#4 Yazan Abu-Arab

Yazan Abu-Arab is only 22, but the strikers can't be deceived by his innocence

Position: Centre-Back

Age: 22

Unlike the traditional 4-4-2 formation, Jordan employs a 3-4-1-2 formation. A three-man back-line will crumble if any of the defenders show any signs of complacency. Despite being only 22, Yazan Abu-Arab has proved his mettle to be a regular for the Jordan side.

Modern football requires the defenders to be astute not only in blocking and lodging in tackles but also in giving the strikers and midfielders a helping hand when required. Yazan is that sort of player who can find spaces and feed intelligent through balls to the strikers.

The defender is also known for his pinpoint accuracy of long balls as he provided three dangerous crosses in their game against Croatia.

Like Baha Faisal, he too came through the ranks of the U-23 squad and will be raring to keep Jeje, Balwant, or Manvir at bay.
