With Bangladesh set to host group leaders Australia in a FIFA World Cup Qualifier next month, coach Javier Cabrera is sweating over the combination of his starting eleven due to the unavailability of at least four regular players including defender Bishwanath Ghosh and forward Faisal Ahmed Fahim.

National forward Faisal Ahmed Fahim scored for the first time this season to guide Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club to the quarterfinals of the Federation Cup as they cruised to a 4-1 victory over Rahmatganj MFS in Dhaka today.

Two years ago, Faisal Ahmed Fahim came off the bench to make his international debut against Maldives during the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Tournament in Sri Lanka. The young forward chose the same opposition to score his first international goal yesterday, a goal which helped Bangladesh clinch a spot in the World Cup Qualifiers.
