Sandeep Singh cannot play
The fact that defensive superstar 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 match. This is why the Yellow Pada cannot get the player’s services in the next game.
Sandeep Singh has been a brilliant performer for Blasters in the last few matches. The player, who scored a goal in the match against Odisha, played in a great form against Jamshedpur FC in the last game. There are indications that Nishu Kumar and Harmanjot Khabra will replace right back Sandeep in the Blasters starting XI in the next game.

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