India football team will be back in action after a long gap and will like to continue their winning momentum when they take on Mauritius in the first game of the Tri-Nation tournament which also involves Caribbean side St. Kitts & Nevis. While India are focused on keeping the winning run, they need to get in shape for the all-important AFC Asian Cup qualifier. India will miss the services of captain Sunil Chhetri, goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu and Udanta Singh for the tournament as the trio will be in action for Bengaluru FC in AFC Cup. But that gives India an opportunity to test the bench. Catch the live football score and updates of India vs Mauritius Football match here.
