FC Pune City winger Ashique Kuruniyan has been recalled to Igor Stimac's India camp after an injury layoff...
After a breakout 2017-18 season with FC Pune City, Ashique Kuruniyan was the name on everyone's lips as the next Indian football star. The young fleet-footed winger from Kerala had the pace and trickery to beat his marker at will and the spotlight bestowed upon him was well-deserved.
Primarily a winger, Ashique proved that he can be a stand-in wing-back as well during what was a very forgettable season for the Stallions last year. However, things did not go as planned and the 22-year-old, who missed out on a loan stint at Villarreal C due to an injury only three years ago, was injured towards the end of the season.
