Leicester City midfielder Hamza Chowdhury traveled 16 hours to Bangladesh on Monday and arrived at 11 a.m. before joining afternoon practice without rest. The player did not start in Saturday's match but immediately entered camp to prepare for Thursday's Asian Cup qualifier against Hong Kong at the National Stadium. Bangladesh faces another qualifier on Oct. 14 in an away fixture.
Chowdhury told teammates he expects fan support and aims for victory despite the extended journey. Shamit Shome will reach camp on Tuesday evening and participate in Wednesday's training before the first match. The squad began preparation with 28 players before adding two members, while Sumon Reza and Mohammad Ibrahim departed due to injuries.
