ISL 2021-22 Season Begins with ATK Mohun Bagan-Kerala Blasters Clash

An engaging contest is on the cards as last year’s runner-up ATK Mohun Bagan lock horns with former finalist Kerala Blasters FC in the season opener of the Indian Super League’s (ISL) 2021-22. The high octane match will be played on Friday, November 19 at the Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, in Fatorda and kicks off at 07:30 PM IST. The Kolkata outfit have retained much of the previous season’s squad and under the same tutelage of coach Antonio Lopez Habas. However, they did some shopping in the transfer window and have roped in Joni Kauko and Hugo Boumous to boost firepower in the midfield.

Meanwhile, the Blasters had a forgetful last season, finishing 10th on the points table. The Yellow brigade too have made few changes, as they will be under new coach Ivan Vukomanovic and few new set of foreign players in a hope for title finish.

Both sides have no injury concerns .

ATK Mohun Bagan probable starting line-up: Amrinder Singh, Ashutosh Mehta, Tiri, Prabir Das, Pritam Kotal, Subhasish Bose, Carl McHugh, Hugo Boumous, Joni Kauko, Manvir Singh, Roy Krishna
