The Kochi based outfit have no concerns and everyone is in contention to feature in the starting XI except the skipper Sergio Cidoncha.

For the Red and Gold, Danny Fox is still out and there's still time for Aaron Amadi-Holloway to be fully fit to feature in a game. Scott Neville is sidelined, while Eugeneson Lyngdoh will be available to play after serving his suspension.

Players to Watch Out:

Sahal Abdul Samantha (Kerala Blasters)

Samad has had a quiet season so far, featuring only once. The youngster has the potential but had failed to prove everyone and it seems he'll have to work harder to make an impact that big so that he deserves a run of games. 

The 23-year-old had begun full training with the squad after a week's of separate training and he will hope that he gets another opportunity to prove himself. 

Jacques Maghoma (SC East Bengal)

Maghoma became the first Red and Gold to appear on the scoresheet this season. The two-time 'Player of the Season' award winner with different outfits is yet to show his full potential and hopefully, he will get on top soon.
