It was reliably learnt that the Delhi girl will take time to recuperate and won't be ready in time for the tournament.

India eves won their fourth consecutive ASAFF Women's Football Championship title in January beating Bangladesh 3-1 in the final. The females in blue are unbeaten in 19 matches having won 18 and drawn one.

The camp for the Asian Cup qualifiers is underway but sans first choice keeper Chauhan would be a tough task against the likes of South Korea, Uzbekistan, Hong Kong and North Korea in Group B.

India take on DPR Korea in their opening fixture on April 3.
