Kaliushni will return
At the same time, Ukraine midfielder Ivan Kaliushny, who missed the last match due to suspension, will return to Blasters’ starting XI once morest Mumbai City FC. Ivan Kaliushny has been a well-oiled machine in the midfield of the team this season, scoring 4 goals in 11 games. The return of a player like Kaliushny, who is in deadly form, will boost Blasters’ confidence.
