About the absence of Crivallero, the coach said, “Rafa is an important player, a good player. Now that he is injured. we have to look at others who are playing…We need to keep working without him.

“We cannot depend on one player. Koman’s role is important. Each and every player has an important role. We will try our best during rehab to get Rafa back as soon as possible.”

ISL 2021-22 Live- Chennaiyin FC vs Northeast United FC NEUFC, who began with a 2-4 hammering at the hands of Bengaluru FC, bounced back to hold Kerala Blasters to a goalless draw in the second match.

Coach Khalid Jamil will be hoping that they can find the net after missing a few opportunities in the game against Blasters.

The forward line which includes Deshorn Brown and Federico Gallego can give any defence a tough time and the coach will hope they can break through against Chennaiyin.

Also, the Highlanders’ defence was not at its best against Bengaluru before holding on against Kerala, and they will need to step up against Chennaiyin, who will look to keep the winning run intact.
