Kochi: Despite their injured skipper Diego Forlan's absence, a confident Mumbai City FC will aim to continue their winning run in the Indian Super League (ISL) here today when they face Kerala Blasters FC, who also will miss the services of their captain Cedric Hengbart.
Forlan, who was influential in his team's first two victories, sat out of the last clash against NorthEast United FC and looks certain to sit out of today's clash. "Diego is working hard on his recovery with our staff and we hope that we can have him back fully fit at the earliest," Mumbai coach Alexandre Guimaraes said.
On the other hand, Hengbart, who led the Kerala franchise in the last game but limped out midway through injury, has a battle on his hand to recover and declare himself fit for the crucial clash against Mumbai City.
