NorthEast United
Federico Gallego recently returned from injury but hasn’t made much of an impact. New signings such as Andy Keogh and Simon Lundevall haven’t impressed either for the Blasters. Reagan Singh is undergoing suspension after being sent off in the 1-0 defeat to Mumbai City FC. Nim Dorjee Tamang could be expected to feature at right-back as a result to it.
Kerala Blasters
The backline has been a problem for the Blasters. TP Rahenesh hasn’t look convincing at all between the sticks and has made some errors which have led to goals. Sahal Abdul Samad could be given a nod to come in at midfield. Bartholomew Ogbeche and R.M Bouli should be continuing as the two forwards.
