The major issues with Bengaluru FC this season is Sunil Chhetri’s form and the injury problems. Chhetri is yet to open his account in this season and has not converted the simple chances that he had inside the box. He has also not able to convert two penalties.
“We are not much worried about Chetri’s bad form as it is not important. He is trying and sometimes the form doesn’t support players. He has not performed till now but he is helping the team in defence and he scored an important goal against FC Goa. He is trying hard to overcome this. He is an excellent player and will try to convert more chances in the upcoming games,” said BFC coach
The injuries are also a point of worry for the coach as players like Udanta Singh, Leon Augustine and Aakashdeep Singh wouldn’t be available for selection till the end week of December 2021.
“We played a friendly game this weekend and Udanta Singh was part of that game and he came as the substitute and was still having some problems while playing. He will be out till December end due to his ligament injury.” said BFC coach regarding Udanta Singh’s injury update.
