When Lions coach Tatsuma Yoshida decided to call up Sahil Suahimi to the national team, the Japanese tactician was finally ending the Warriors FC forward's three year exile from the national team.
Sahil may now play a role in helping the Lions secure wins in their friendly against Qatar on the 15th of November and their crucial clash against Yemen - in the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers.
And although the diminutive striker in a recent interview expressed his shock at the call-up - anybody who has seen his performances this season in the SPL (Singapore Premier League) - will find it hard to fathom his feeling.
