FATORDA: Kerala Blasters, who will take on Hyderabad FC in the ISL final, have both happy and anxious news to offer at the same time. Coach Ivan Vukomanovic has said that Sahal Abdul Samad's injury is not serious and that he will probably play in tomorrow's match. Meanwhile, the coach said that it is doubtful whether team captain Adrian Luna will play in tomorrow's match. Vukomanovic was speaking to reporters at a pre-final news conference. Luna did not attend the press conference.
The coach explained that Luna suffered a minor injury during training and that he was currently with the medical team. He said that he did not know how serious Luna's injury was and that he would only find out about Luna's health after the team returned to the hotel. The coach said that some players, including Luna and Sahal, had been with the medical team and the team's technical group since the morning and that was why they did not come to the press conference.
However, Vukomanovic said that Sahal's injury was not as serious as he had hoped and that he hoped to play in the final match. However, he said the final decision would be taken only after receiving the report of the medical team. The coach said that he did not even know who would lead the Blasters in the final due to Luna's injury.
