Blasters, like last season, has suffered multiple setbacks in the form of injuries. The side's star midfielder Sergio Cidoncha has been ruled out for the remainder of ISL 2020-21 after he suffered an ankle injury and he has since returned to Spain. Sahal Abdul Samad, another key player in midfield, has also struggled with injuries and has only played one game so far this season.
However, captain Costa Nhamoinesu will return to the side after missing the previous game due to suspension.
For SC East Bengal, Eugeneson Lyngdoh is likely to return to the starting line up after his one-match suspension while Aaron Amadi-Holloway, who came on as a substitute in the last game, could also get more gametime.
