Kerala Blasters has decided to recall Justine Emmanuel from his loan spell at Gokulam Kerala FC after the long-term injury to Kwame Peprah, the Indian Super League (ISL) club announced on Monday.

The 20-year-old forward had joined the I-League outfit on a one-year loan deal in August.

The Nigerian has accumulated 14 appearances for Gokulam across three competitions -- I-League, Durand Cup and Kalinga Super Cup -- scoring three goals.

The move comes after Ghanian forward Peprah suffered an injury to his groin during the Kalinga Super Cup encounter against Jamshedpur FC, ruling him out of the rest of the season.
