GOA: NorthEast United FC will look to get back to winning ways against under pressure SC East Bengal in the 2021-22 Hero Indian Super League (ISL) clash at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Fatorda here on Friday.
Khalid Jamil's NorthEast United were humbled by Hyderabad FC but in SC East Bengal, they will take on an opponent who are even lower in confidence, rooted to the foot of the table without a single win.
NorthEast United have conceded 11 goals from open play in Hero ISL 21-22, the most of any team this season, underlining their defensive woes. The Highlanders, like SC East Bengal, have injury concerns but one player that has remained consistent is VP Suhair. In the 478 minutes played by Suhair this season, he has one goal and an assist to his name.
"Our start has not been that great. We missed a lot of players through injury. I am not giving any excuse but I have never got all my six foreigners fit for selection in any game. Deshorn Brown is nursing a hamstring. Khassa Camara and Hernan Santana are doubtful for the game," revealed Jamil. IANS
