Noah Sadaoui is not included in Kerala Blasters’ squad for the second consecutive Indian Super League match. Mikael Stahre named an unchanged XI against Mumbai City. The match will start at 19.30 and will be played at Mumbai Football Arena.

The Moroccan player, who has contributed five goals to Blasters since the beginning of the season, was not in the squad against Bengaluru FC last week due to an unspecified injury.

Kwame Peprah, who assisted Jesus Jimenez’s goal in the 1-3 defeat against Bengaluru, is expected to play behind his Spanish striker partner. Rahul KP and Milos Drincic will remain on the bench. The substitutes include Lakshadweep twins Muhammad Azhar and Aimen.

In Mumbai, Bipin Singh and Brandon Fernandes returned to the playing XI while Jayesh Rane remained on the bench. Greek striker Nikolas Karelis, who scored three goals in five matches, will take the leadership seat alongside captain Lallianzuala Chhangte.
