Falconets to take week break amid World Cup preparations
A source from the camp informed BSNSports, “The NFF said we should go on a week break, starting from the end of this month till August 7. We resumed camping on July 7, and just three weeks in camp, we will go on a break when we are supposed to be playing international friendly matches in preparation for the World Cup. This, without a doubt, will affect our performance at the World Cup.”
