Image Source: XtraTime[/caption] Kolkata: The injury concerns are there, foreign players have just returned from their countries after the international break, the arch rivals are playing some amazing football, still East Bengal coach Trevor Morgan believes, "The derby will be a different ball game altogether." Today, after the training session, the East Bengal gaffer also added, "Mohun Bagan has a settled team, they are playing well and I have to admit that. But in derbies it's always an even contest." The East Bengal gaffer's trouble continues with the ground though, as he had to undergo the similar problem which he has been having since Sunday. The Bengal Hockey Association has once again occupied half of the ground when East Bengal was training. Trevor said, "The officials asked me at what time I need the ground for the training and I said from 8 to 10 in the morning. But at the time I came for the training, I found the hockey training was going on." The British coach was literally frustrated, but said, "The things were worse in the last couple of days. Today things were a bit better though. But it certainly creates problems in the preparation." Willis Plaza joined the training today but certainly seemed tired, as Trevor said, "Plaza started from Trinidad three days back and he was naturally tired. But he trained, in fact, everybody trained. Only Robin Singh had a niggle in the groin and got rest." At the same time, some good news coming in as the gaffer informed that Wedson has trained today with the team. At the same time, Trevor is still in doubt whether he would get his service in the derby or not. The Red & Gold boss said, "Frankly speaking, I don't know if I will get Wedson in the derby or not, but I can take a call on him on Saturday. If he can train tomorrow, then he will certainly be in the plan. But at the same time I can't take any risk, because another injury might force him to go out of the season. We have to wait and watch." The two birthday boys Wedson Anselme and Cavin Lobo celebrated their birthdays in the dressing room with the team mates after the training got over. East Bengal will have close door training sessions on tomorrow and Friday and won’t train on Thursday for their preparations for the Kolkata Derby.
