File Picture[/caption] Kolkata : East Bengal is in front of a special moment as the Red & Gold brigade will face a top-class Nepalese side- 3 Star Club in the big final of the 64th Bordoloi Trophy at Guwahati tomorrow.  Unfortunate for the Red & Gold brigade as they won't get the service of British defender Calum Angus in the title-deciding game tomorrow. The British defender has high fever and has injury issues. As Koushik Sarkar is not available, the East Bengal Coach Ranjan Chowdhury is yet to decide the partner of Ashpreet in the central defense. The gaffer said,"We have to go out and play. We will miss a couple of players but the others are there to pounce on the opportunity." The excitement surrounding the final has reached a new height as the people of Guwahati are approaching this game as an India vs Nepal battle. East Bengal coach Ranjan Chowdhury too indulged that sentiment as he said,"My team knows that we have a national prestige involved in it. And whoever will play for us tomorrow, are resolved to will keep that in mind". The Nepalese club defeated Indian side United Sikkim in the 1st semi final by a thumping 4-0 margin. On the other hand, Kolkata giant Kingfisher East Bengal scored a solitary goal through Adileja to seal an important victory against Shillong Lajong in the second semi final. The East Bengal coach is giving a lot of respect to the opposition as he said,"They are a top side. Nepalese league champions. They have three quality foreigners and 6 national team players. They love to play possessional football with brisk counter attacking moves." The final will be played at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium at 7pm tomorrow.
