The many accidents within the group and the new climate have posed issues for the Kerala Blasters this season, and the tight ISL schedule has solely added to Ivan Vukomanovic’s headache. And as the Blasters meet East Bengal on the Nehru Stadium right here on Wednesday, coach Vukomanovic will probably be working out methods to keep his players fresh for the matches forward and the playoffs.
“Before we left for Jamshedpur (for the March 30 match against Jamshedpur FC), we were sitting and saying…next two weeks we have four games, four training sessions and 10 flights. So you think, how do you refresh and rest players so that they are capable of coming to the pitch, whether home and away, and perform, get victories. This is my concern as a coach,” stated Vukomanovic right here on Tuesday.
“So in all probability tomorrow you might have to rotate… at the very least 5 – 6 players you might have to depart on the bench and herald others as a result of a few hours after the sport, we’d like to fly to Guwahati (for the April 6 recreation in opposition to NorthEast United).
The excellent news is the group’s star Adrian Luna is again to coaching, after his damage and surgical procedure, which presents hope that he may come later for the essential matches.
Blasters (30 factors), fifth within the 12-team ISL desk, had crushed East Bengal (at the moment eleventh with 18 factors) 2-1 after they final met on November 4.
