The Red and Gold officials and coach has decided not to wait too long for the third foreigner. Trevor Morgan said, “I will not wait too long for the third foreigner(Wedson). I am not too sure about Wedson’s status. I heard that his paper works are on but I don not know when will he be joining. If he does not come, I will be looking for some other forward because I am short of strikers.”

But now its time for the juniors to come forward and show their skills. I hope the juniors will do well and I have faith on them. The officials took the final decision of releasing the senior players.”
