The bereaved Manpreet last night returned from India after his father's funeral to join his teammates for a training session this morning, giving coach Roelant Oltmans some options of tackling the rivals, who today overtook India on the round-robin league standings.
Canada defeated Japan 3-1 to take their points tally to four from three outings, having lost 1-3 to Pakistan and holding defending champions New Zealand to a 1-1 draw.
India have three points from two matches, having defeated Japan 2-1 in their opening outings and then suffering a 1-5 defeat by World champions Australia.
Manpreet brings a lot of stability as he often takes up the centre-half's duties from Indian captain Sardar Singh.
