Kolkata: Mohun Bagan gets another stumble, as their Japanese midfielder Yuta Kinowaki too seems doubtful for a selection in the Super Sunday I-League between East Bengal and Mohun Bagan. Yuta had been suffering from a shoulder injury for quite a long time and adding to the woes, he got another jerk in his shoulder today, as per sources.
Sony Norde has already been out from the contest after a shocking announcement of leaving the club. Though the Haitian was present throughout the training today and tried his best to boost the morale of the side.
But no doubt, the players too seemed to have a bit bogged down by the sudden shock ahead of the battle of pride. If Yuta becomes unavailable, no doubt, it will be a monumental task for Shankarlal and his team to hold the arch rivals in this “do or die” clash of titans. One of the heroes of the first leg Kolkata Derby, goalkeeper Shilton Paul too spent the entire night at the hospital for severe stomach infection and likely to be unavailable as well for the historic battle.
If the training gives a hint, then the probable XI of the Mohun Bagan side in the Kolkata derby will likely to be: Shibinraj: Arijit Bagui, Kingshuk, Kingsley, Ricky ; Nikhil Kadam, Reynier, Watson, Sk Faiaz, Moghrabi, Dipanda
