Amar and Arjun Purewal will make history at Wembley on Monday in a moment they hope will help to "break barriers". And though the delayed non-league showpiece will be played behind closed doors because of the Covid-19 pandemic, Consett defender Arjun and Hebburn forward Amar hope to inspire those watching on television. He told BBC Sport: "Asians watching around the country might say: 'There are two boys playing at Wembley, I can do it too.' "Hopefully it draws more Asian people to break barriers within the sport, whether it's playing at grassroots level, coaching, or in the media." 'Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity'For central defender Arjun, who captains Consett and plays alongside his brother for Panjab FA, facing his "best friend" will be a "bittersweet challenge".
