Bangladesh national team’s key players Topu Barman, Anisur Rahman Zico and Sheikh Morsalin are likely to be not considered for the two World Cup prequalifying matches against Maldives later this month.

Young forward Sheikh Morsalin unleashed the CR7 celebration after scoring a crucial equalising goal against Afghanistan in a FIFA Friendly at the Kings Arena on Thursday.

Rakib and Morsalin are happy with back-to-back goals in the SAFF Championship and want to contribute in Bangladesh’s victories in coming days.

Javier Cabrera's charges will take on Kuwait in the first semifinal on Saturday before India and Lebanon will square off in the second semifinal later in the day.

The two forwards scored two goals and combined to set up an own goal as Bangladesh took a step closer to a semifinal berth in the SAFF Championship after being given an early scare by the Bhutanese. 

Bangladesh's attacking midfielder Sheikh Morsalin is having the time of his life after getting his maiden international goal in a 3-1 triumph over the Maldives in the ongoing SAFF Championship in India on Monday.
