Churchill Brothers, who lost their opening match against Salgaocar, will look to bounce back when they take on Mohun Bagan at the Duler Stadium in Mapusa on Saturday.
Injuries to key players Hugo Machado, Denzil Franco and Henry pegged them back, but the team are now geared up for Saturday’s encounter.
“Hugo Machado is still a doubtful starter but Henry Anchouet will be back as he is fit now. We are hopeful that Anchouet will deliver in the game along with Syrian striker Ahmad Al Kaddour against Mohun Bagan,” said technical director Sukhwinder Singh.
National team regular, Denzil Franco, who had a long lay off due to his ankle injury, is expected to play and seen practising along with his team mates.
“I am excited to be back. Playing against Mohun Bagan is a motivating factor as the two teams have always played tough games in the past... and I am sure it will be the same on Saturday,” Franco said.
