Sandeep Singh cannot play
The fact that defensive star Sandeep Singh will not be able to play against Mumbai City FC will give Blasters a headache. Sandeep, who has seen 4 yellow cards in the season, will have to sit out one game. This is why the Yellow Pada cannot get the services of the player in the next game.
Sandeep Singh has been a great performer for Blasters in the last few games. The player, who scored a goal in the match against Odisha, was in great form against Jamshedpur FC in the last match. There are indications that Nishu Kumar and Harmanjot Khabra will replace Sandeep back in the Blasters starting XI in the next game.

Two other players are also suspended
It is a huge blow for Sandeep Singh who has seen four yellow cards in the season and will not be able to play in the next game. But what is equally alarming is that two other key players in the team are on the verge of suspension.
Goalkeeper Prabhsukhan Gill and Rahul KP, who have been in great form this season, are on the verge of suspension. These two players have already seen three yellow cards. One more yellow card will earn these players a one match suspension.
Kaliushni will return
Meanwhile, Ukraine midfielder Ivan Kaliushny, who missed the last match due to suspension, will return to the Blasters starting XI against Mumbai City FC. Ivan Kaliushny has been a well-oiled machine in the team’s midfield this season, scoring 4 goals in 11 games. The return of a player like Kaliushny, who is in lethal form, will boost Blasters’ confidence.
